Dell E4310 with BIOS version A05 failed with kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.37-natty/. Boots into black screen. When I got it to boot into a non-black screen, the touchpad issue was not resolved anyway.
Separately I've been experiencing screen flickers, suspend/resume failures etc with the E4310 on 2.6.35-24-generic but found kernel 2.6.37-999.201101190911 resolves these. For those who want to get their E4310 working reasonably well under 10.10, I found this resolves all four problems (screen flicker, suspend/resume, touchpad vertical scrolling, internal microphone): # kernel upgrade for suspend/resume + screen flicker: mkdir ~/kernel-upgrade; cd ~/kernel-upgrade; wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2011-01-19-natty /linux-headers-2.6.37-999-generic_2.6.37-999.201101190911_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2011-01-19-natty /linux-headers-2.6.37-999_2.6.37-999.201101190911_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2011-01-19-natty /linux-image-2.6.37-999-generic_2.6.37-999.201101190911_amd64.deb; sudo dpkg -i *.deb sudo reboot # install psmouse 0.2.1-all for vertical scrolling: sudo apt-get install dkms cd ~ wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625/+attachment/1797114/+files/psmouse-0.2-1.all.deb sudo dpkg -i psmouse-0.2-1.all.deb rm psmouse-0.2-1.all.deb sudo reboot # fix internal mic not working: echo "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf HTH -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
