I have the same problem as David. I confirm bug in kernels 2.6.26 and 2.6.29. I'm using an ALPS Touchpad in my Toshiba Satellite Pro M10. "Advanced features" in X like vertical/horizontal scrolling don't work because kernel doesn't recognize the mouse as a touchpad but as a "PS/2 Generic Mouse". I've looked in launchpad/google/debian bugtrack systems and this problem affects a lot of distros/hardware. All points it's a problem with the input subsystem. I've seen reports of people that say adding i8042.nomux=1 on boot fixes it for them. It doesn't for me. It's not a hardware error (at least in my case) because touchpad works flawless in windows. It does look like a regression because this touchpad usd to work for me on a debian of 4 years ago (sorry i dont remember kernel version because i did a fresh install on this long forgotten laptop).
Sorry for my sucky english and worse presentation skills, tell me if you need any more information attached. Thanks in advance, ~ Pablo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
