i have had a laptop for two years now and i have never thought that its touchpad would ever work nor at least be detected. until i come accross this thread. that i8042.noloop=1 option in grub was the magic!
here is my dmidecode if anyone would take a look at it. thanks a lot! ** Attachment added: "jonee316.dmidecode" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17196986/jonee316.dmidecode -- [Hardy] synaptic touchpad not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
