Same Problem with Lenovo 10-3 fixes tnx to Pauls instructions. Thank You Paul!
Again Pauls instructions modified for people who are not so familiar with working with the Terminal: ## Pauls Original #$ My Comments ## It's possible to use dkms to build the psmouse module for the buttonless synaptics touchpad on some newer netbooks. ## First make sure dkms package is installed. #$ To check, type: dpkg --list | grep dkms #$ If this does not give any result, type sudo apt-get install dkms ## Next download this patched source archive for the psmouse module from kernel 2.6.35-22-generic on maverick. I just posted it to this bug, it's called: psmouse-2.6.35-22-generic-patched.tar.bz2 #$ Just to keep order make a directory somewhere, type mkdir touchpad cd touchpad #$ To download, type wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/582809/+attachment/1675262/+files/psmouse-2.6.35-22 -generic-patched.tar.bz2 ## In a terminal, unpack the source archive in /usr/src #$ To do this, type tar -xjf psmouse-2.6.35-22-generic-patched.tar.bz2 sudo cp -r psmouse-2.6.35-22-generic /usr/src/ ## Next, in a terminal, enter these commands: sudo dkms add -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic ## This should install the psmouse.ko module in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/updates/dkms. Reboot to load it. #$ --- !!! --- On my Lenovo, This was all I had to do to make the right an left mouseclick work again, which is all I need to be happy (I don´t need 2-fingers-whatever ...) ## If the mouse doesn't function properly, use this command to check if it's installed. sudo dkms status -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic ## If it's not, then try rebuilding it with sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic ## Once a new kernel is issued with a fix, then you can remove it with: sudo dkms uninstall -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic sudo dkms remove -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic --all ## I also believe that dkms will automatically build and install it on any kernel upgrade, but haven't tested that yet. ## After installing any kernel update, you can test with sudo dkms status -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic ## and if it's not built, use the above commands to build and install it. ## Reboot to make it effective. ## For more info, see man dkms for the official documents. -- Synaptics Clickpad touchpad buttons are not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582809 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
