I have attached the linux canonical patch file for the fixes by Malte for the E6530. This should be applied after patch 1 submitted in post 236 and patch 2 submitted in post 237.
@Ubuntu Based on comments in the subsequent two weeks since I submitted the patches, it looks like there may be a new Alps touchpad protocol for the Dell E6230. This bug has been open for almost 2.5 years, with patches submitted. ** Patch added: "Alps touchpad fixes for Dell E6530 and formatting" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/606238/+attachment/3424714/+files/0003-alps.patch -- 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
