Hi. I've had trouble with my ALPS touchpad on my Acer Aspire, ever since ALPS support was merged into the kernel. I've tried various kernels from 2.6.11-rc3 to -rc5 (including some -mm kernels) and none of them detect the pad. After sprinkling some printk's in the mouse drivers, it seems like psmouse_connect in psmouse-base.c is never even called.
On the other hand, using earlier kernels (such as 2.6.9) with the kernel patch from Peter Osterlund's driver package works fine. In that case, I get lines like this in syslog: kernel: alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64 kernel: alps.c: E7 report: 73 02 14 kernel: alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64 kernel: alps.c: E7 report: 73 02 14 kernel: alps.c: Status: 15 01 0a kernel: ALPS Touchpad (Glidepoint) detected kernel: input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS TouchPad on isa0060/serio4 With the newer kernels, there's nothing ALPS-related in the log. Any pointers on what to look for would be appreciated. My kernel config is at http://nullinfinity.org/config-2.6.11-rc5 Thanks, Johan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
