I have the same issue with my Dell Inspiron N5110. My touchpad is also recognized as a mouse.
I tried this script and it seems able to work around the problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10651082&postcount=13 # uname -a Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 05:17:09 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices [snip] I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=7326 N: Name="ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event7 B: PROP=0 B: EV=7 B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=103 [snip] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760142 Title: Dell 15R : ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: Configuring as mouse -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
