Update: I found the reason and a possible fix for this bug. Because of this mesg in the logs: psmouse: Unknown parameter `synaptics_resume_reset' the psmouse module was not loaded - I checked using 'lsmod'.
I searched for "synaptics_resume_reset" and came across the file /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf which had this line: options psmouse synaptics_resume_reset=N This seems to be a temporary fix to load the psmouse module with this parameter (most probably required in Jaunty). Maybe this parameter does not exist in the module version in karmic. Anyways, I commented out this line and rebooted. the 'psmouse' kernel module is loaded and my touchpad is recognized now. Yay! I think the file '/etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf' should be deleted on upgrading to karmic. -- [Regression] touchpad not recognized on upgade to karmic (sony vaio VGN-SR220) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/467164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
