 Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: The end result of the commit is loss of scroll support, with no
  extra functionality gained.

  How addressed: By reverting the commit, the previously enabled scroll
  support is reestablished through the ImPS/2 extension.

  Reproduction: Run current Ubuntu kernel on affected hardware. Scroll
  functionality present in previous Ubuntu releases is now missing.

  Regression Potential: Since this is a revert of a one-line device id,
  the regression potential is minimal. The device should fall back to
  ImPS/2 protocol without issue.

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

  I have Ubuntu 9.10 and an Alps touchpad (E7: 73 02 64). Chase fixed
  the kernel so that it was recognized  and, indeed, the touchpad shows
  up in both gsynaptics and systempreferencesmouse, but when I
  actually try to adjust the settings nothing changes. My goal is to
  disable the tap-to-click feature or disable the touchpad when typing.
  Chase suggests it may be something related to the driver and to open
  another bug.

[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

2010-10-10 Thread John Dickson
@mättu (#183): I used:
alps_ec_write(psmouse, 0x0005, 0x07)
to disable the tapping completely (this also disables the corner tap as a right 
click).

One of the earlier patches (from @Andrew?) had notes about what the
different bits controlled - I based mine on that documentation.

This issue is resolved as of 2.6.32-25 - the machine boots to X every

[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

2010-09-05 Thread John Dickson
For those not running 64-bit Ubuntu, here's a 32-bit version of the
driver, compiled against 2.6.32-24-generic-pae.

This is based on Andrew Skalski's patch in #154, with a couple of
changes to work on 2.6.32 (probably the same as his patch in #151, which
I missed).  This patch also disables tap-to-click as well as tapping the
top right corner as a right-click.

I'm using this on a Dell E6510 without any problems.

Cheers ... JD

[Bug 616197] [NEW] NVIDIA driver fails to load on boot 75% of time

2010-08-11 Thread John Dickson
Public bug reported:

I have a Dell E6510 laptop containing an NVIDIA 3100M card. I'm running
32 bit Ubuntu Lucid (10.04), using the proprietary NVIDIA driver
provided with Lucid (nouveau doesn't yet work with this card).

About 75% of the time the machine fails to boot - after 3-4 seconds, and 
without showing anything on the screen (text or graphical), it hangs with a 
black screen with a flashing text-mode cursor. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7 (or any 
other keys) has no effect.  The Xorg.log shows:
Fatal server error:
no screens found

However, roughly once in every 4 attempts (varies widely) I see messages
on the screen about ureadahead and plymouthd having been killed by the
OOM killer, and the machine boots correctly and functions without
problem.

This happens with both the drivers provided with Lucid, and the latest
drivers directly from NVIDIA.  It's been suggested on the NVIDIA forums
that this may be a timing issue.

2010-08-11 Thread John Dickson
Hi Darran

I noticed a couple of differences with 532436:
 - Xorg.log shows a stack trace (mine doesn't)
 - Post 24 mentions getting a console login at boot.  Mine just hangs

But it may well be the same issue, just some different symptoms.

Cheers . John
