I am able to use the touchpad in Dell Inspiron N5110 now. Thank you very much.
Steps I followed: Download http://www.dahetral.com/public-download/psmouse-alps- dst-1.0.tbz/at_download/file Install Dynamic Kernel Module Support package if you don't have it already: $ sudo apt-get install dkms Extract the downloaded package and move it to the /usr/src location: $ cd download_path $ tar xf psmouse-alps-dst-1.0.tbz $ sudo mv usr/src/psmouse-alps-dst-1.0 /usr/src/ Build and use the module: $ cd /usr/src $ sudo dkms remove psmouse/alps-dst-1.0 --all $ sudo dkms build psmouse/alps-dst-1.0 $ sudo dkms install psmouse/alps-dst-1.0 $ sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe -v psmouse Now go to System Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad. You should see the Touchpad tab also :-) -- 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/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
