Ricardo's fix got the touchpad working for me (Lenovo ThinkPad R500), but edge-scrolling was disabled. So instead I just reloaded the psmouse module (i.e. without the proto argument), after which the touchpad worked perfectly: sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse
To make this fix permanent I added the following to /etc/rc.local: /sbin/modprobe -r psmouse /sbin/modprobe psmouse See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/191024/comments/40> -- [Jaunty] synaptics driver needs to be updated to work with devices known as "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" and "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" starting with 2.6.28 series kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315882 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
