@dturvene I also have Dell N5110 with Alps touchpad and Dave's patch seems to do the trick, so, thank you Dave.
My problem was that touchpad was being recognised as PS/2 Generic Mouse and the touchpad settings tab was disabled in system settings. I've tried to fix this problem with this patch: http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.10/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb (it's a dead link now), but it resulted with both, psmouse and touchpad modules being loaded http://askubuntu.com/questions/109820/alps-loaded-but-ps-2-mouse-also-loaded. After this, the touchpad tab was enabled in system settings, but any changes made didn't reflect on touchpad. Dave's patch seems to work best. Touchpad is being recognised as AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad, touchpad settings are available and touchpad is responding to changes except for the scrolling (edge and two-finger). I've checked with synclient the ouptut I was getting and it looks like touchpad dosen't recognise more than one finger... :-( But for me, the most annoying problem was accidentaly touching touchpad while typing, which is now solved because touchpad is disabled while typing! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
