Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2 Severity: normal
After upgrading my notebook from sarge to etch special touchpad features like scrolling with fingers didn't work any longer. I was able to track down the problem to the psmouse module, which is not able to detect my touchpad correct. Instead it detects only a generic PS/2 mouse: atpcvc8c:/home/gerald# dmesg | grep input input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0 input: USB Mouse as /class/input/input1 input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [USB Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-2 drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input2 input: PC Speaker as /class/input/input3 I tried to load the psmouse module with different parameters like proto=exps, but nothing helped. I also tried to set the correct protocol manually, but the driver seems to think that it is smarter than the user and ignores my request: atpcvc8c:/home/gerald# echo -n "SynPS/2" > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio3/protocol atpcvc8c:/home/gerald# dmesg | grep input input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0 input: USB Mouse as /class/input/input1 input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [USB Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-2 drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input2 input: PC Speaker as /class/input/input3 input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input4 Only when I touch on my touchpad and then try to set the protocol manually, it works: atpcvc8c:/home/gerald# echo -n "SynPS/2" > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio3/protocol atpcvc8c:/home/gerald# dmesg | grep input atpcvc8c:/home/gerald# dmesg | tail [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:02.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 [drm] Initialized i915 1.5.0 20060119 on minor 0 [drm] Initialized i915 1.5.0 20060119 on minor 1 eth1: no IPv6 routers present input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input4 Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 5.9, id: 0x8f8eb1, caps: 0xa04793/0x102000 serio: Synaptics pass-through port at isa0060/serio4/input0 input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input5 input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input6 Please feel free to contact me if you need more information. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.85g tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre4-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.18-4-686: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.18-4-686: true shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.18-4-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.18-4-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.18-4-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.18-4-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.18-4-686: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.18-4-686: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.18-4-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.18-4-686: false linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/abort-install-2.6.18-4-686: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.18-4-686: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.18-4-686: false linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.18-4-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.18-4-686: true * linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.18-4-686: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/preinst/initrd-2.6.18-4-686: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.18-4-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.18-4-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-4-686/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
