Hey, I had the same problem on a "Dell Inspiron 17R N7110".
My touchpad was identified as a mouse "ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" and tap- to-click was driving me nuts I didn't realize that it was treating my touchpad as a mouse until today (i've had the laptop for about a year) i just thought the driver "wasn't perfect". I was looking for a better driver to be able to use advanced touchpad features like two-finger scrolling, pinch zooming and twist rotate. The solution i'm attaching is the driver i found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1887683 . After installing this i got a "touchpad" tab in the "Mouse and Touchpad" settings panel and i could enable "two-finger scrolling". Unfortunatly there was no pinch zooming option or twist rotate option but at least it fixed the annoying accidental tap-to-clicks and i've got two-finger scrolling enabled! ** Attachment added: "ALPS Driver" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/606238/+attachment/2663687/+files/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
