At this stage a backport would make sense only to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which is going to be supported till 2017. I don't use it but of course a backport could be useful for other people who are using the 12.04 and planned to use it til the EOL. I think it's up to the developers to take a decision. I'm not an expert and I have no idea if this is going to be a complicated job or not ;)
Just in case! I've tried the "psmouse-alps-1.3" workaround on a LIVE version of 12.04 and it works. So... at least if a backport to 12.04 would be difficult/problematic, we know that the workaround works also on 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294027 Title: [Fujitsu LIFEBOOK A512] Touchpad scrolling and middle click doesn't work Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The scrolling and middle click "left and right button pushed together" doesn't work.
