I can confirm that Kevin Chernekee's version works on my latitude e5530 and ubuntu 12.04 Steps to get it work were: 1) add his ppa and enable the backports 2) edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cernekee-ppa-precise.list and change to quantal 3) sudo apt-get update 4) sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-22-generic #needed for next packages incorrectly does not install the headers as a dependency 5) sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-quantal #this installs the quantal kernel on 12.04 6) sudo apt-get install psmouse-dkms 7) reboot into the new kernel
I can also confirm that i compiled dave turvenes and the stuff at git://github.com/bgamari and in both cases my touchpad is recognized, but freezes with the following messages in dmesg: [ 18.146841] psmouse serio1: alps: E6 report: 00 00 64 [ 18.165095] psmouse serio1: alps: E7 report: 73 03 0a [ 19.271188] psmouse serio1: alps: Failed to init: 17 (cmd=e7) [ 24.853381] psmouse serio1: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1 [ 36.153829] psmouse serio1: Failed to disable mouse on isa0060/serio1 -- 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
