Ricardo's fix got the touchpad working for me (Lenovo ThinkPad R500), but edge-scrolling was disabled. So instead I just reloaded the psmouse module (i.e. without the proto argument), after which the touchpad worked perfectly: sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse
To make this fix permanent I added the following to /etc/rc.local: /sbin/modprobe -r psmouse /sbin/modprobe psmouse See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/191024/comments/40> -- [Jaunty] synaptics driver needs to be updated to work with devices known as "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" and "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" starting with 2.6.28 series kernels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315882 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
