Hi! I've tried this and now my system recognizes the touchpad, but, even though there is a new tab to set touchpad parameters, side scroll doesn't work.
My xinput list is as follows: luigi@luigi-Inspiron-N5110:~$ xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_HD id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] I have modified the two lines Dave said as follows: static int alps_dump_packets = 1; /* module_param(alps_dump_packets, int, 0644); */ How can I select the Alps GlidePoint as main touchpad? Thanks in advance!
