Judging from the message "Failed to enable absolute mode", after resyncing, the Alps driver has given up initializing the (now confused) hardware, and the hardware is being handed over to the Plain PS/2 driver. Which means, the hardware handles the merging of stick/pad events on its own, and it is seen as a plain PS/2 mouse. I.e. what you're seing is the compatiblity mode.
Your problem should be fixable by applying the kernel patch I posted earlier. I would be very interested to hear. Do you know how to compile your own kernel? [The patch as posted is active for the Alps device built into the E6500 laptop. If your M4000's device reports differently, we may need to change the patch a little to activate the new codepath for it, too.] -- ALPS DualPoint Touchpad flaky performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296610 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
