Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[This bug doesn't quite fit any of the cases described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection - nevertheless I'll provide all the information that page suggests to gather.] On my Samsung N150+ netbook running fully patched Ubuntu 10.04, the touchpad is being detected as an ImPS/2 mouse. All normal functions work correctly: pointer movement, left/right click, scroll up/down using the right-hand edge of the pad ... even scroll up/down via two-finger multi-touch works! However there are NO signs in any of the debugging information gathered that a touchpad driver is active, and this correlates with the fact that there is no Touchpad Tab in System>Administration>Mouse in the Main menu. Therefore the usability impact is that it is impossible to disable the touch-to-tap feature which is highly irritating because it's almost impossible to type for any length of time without accidentally triggering a tap on the touchpad. This can sometimes have really unfortunate consequences, e.g. accidentally initiating a transaction in an online banking application whilst the transaction form details are still incomplete/incorrect.
