Philip Peitsch, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this. Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-f.29 ** Summary changed: - Touchpad doesn't function unless psmouse is loaded with proto=exps arguments arguments + [HP Pavilion dv7-4120tx Entertainment Notebook PC] Touchpad doesn't function unless psmouse is loaded with proto=exps arguments arguments ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989502 Title: [HP Pavilion dv7-4120tx Entertainment Notebook PC] Touchpad doesn't function unless psmouse is loaded with proto=exps arguments arguments Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The touchpad on a HP Pavilion dv7 4120TX does not function after installation unless the psmouse module is loaded with proto=exps arguments: sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse proto=exps ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic 3.2.0-23.36 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
