@Brian : The scrolling has always worked for me even with the generic PS/2 driver. It must be that the firmware inside the ALPS works with generic PS/2 multi-button mice so the touchpad firmware is pre-programmed to set the right edge of the touchpad to buttons 4 and 5, ie. scroll wheel up and down.
@Bill : Your narrow is the best we've got. Now where in the kernel should I look for differences in code? @Chris Roggers : The TOUCHPAD variable? Are you talking about the kernel drivers? @Gursimran : Oops... my bad again. :S On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 9:49 PM, Brian McNicholas <565...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > Well the scroll feature just randomly started working.
