I'm testing on E6320 and E6520, which I'd guess to have essentially the same hardware as your machine, so I'm surprised to see you say some things aren't working on your hardware that are working on my test hardware. > Touchpad > - usual one finger movement works > - two finger scroll works (only in vertical direction, not sure if it's > supposed to work in horizontal too) > - side scroll doesn't work in either direction Two-finger scrolling should work horizontally and vertically, and it does work on my test machines. There is a seperate option you need to enable to get horizontal scrolling, so double-check that it is enabled. > - tap to click doesn't work, cursor just jumps a little, no button event is generated What do you mean by "no button event"? The driver doesn't generate any button events in this case, only absolute position events, which gets interpreted as "tap to click" by userspace. I can get tap to click, but I find that it requires tapping twice pretty quickly. > - disable while typing doesn't work (works when I run syndaemon, which is probably better way to do it anyway) This isn't a driver feature, so I think it's a userspace problem (unless the device isn't being identified as a touchpad, but that doesn't seem to be the case). > One little suggestion, could you please add alps module version to the > stuff it prints on modprobe?

If you're using the dkms package, either of the following will tell you what version is installed. apt-cache showpkg psmouse-alps-dkms dkms status psmouse-alps -- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
