BitBurners.com, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux replace-with-bug-number Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested and remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the text: needs-upstream-testing If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Please let us know your results.

I don't know why I have not discovered this earlier, even with intense googling. Turns out that 'mouseemu' is a decent workaround. 1) Install package 'mouseemu' 2) Run the command on terminal: mouseemu -typing-block 500 The 500 sets the delay to 500ms - adjust at will.

[Bug 877666] Re: Dell XT2 touchpad not recognized
The trackstick dump data definitely doesn't seem to match what's expected by a dualpoint v2 device. The thing to do now is to try different things with the trackstick and watch how the data changes to see what parts of the data correspond to different actions. Unfortunately without having hardware I won't be able to help much beyond offering suggestions. What you're likely to see is one field in the data represents the magnitude and direction of motion on the x axis and another will represent the same data on the y axis. Other fields (probably single bits) might represent trackstick buttons. There may also be a field representing downward pressure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877666 Title: Dell XT2 touchpad not recognized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/877666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Heres more Dmesg data. Touchpad was not touched, so only joystick movent and also some keyboard presses to get back to Terminal. Data attached. Sorry, by side scrolling, I meant vertical scrolling which is initiated by moving the finger up/down at the right edge of the touchpad. I don't have a copy of Windows I could try with this laptop, and I have never used Windows on this laptop so hard to say how it works there. Basically it seems to work just fine with your .deb - it registers clicks and movement correctly, and now with that scrolling. The key addition of course would be to be able to disable, or enabling the disable when typing -feature. ** Attachment added: Joystick Dmesg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/877666/+attachment/2627166/+files/dmesg3.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877666 Title: Dell XT2 touchpad not recognized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/877666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Seth, After installing your .deb and modprobing the mouse, following was observed: - Touchpad remained functional - Touchpad support improved, as side-scrolling now worked - Joystick however went totally haywire - touching the stick caused erratic mouse behaviour all over the screen.

[Bug 877666] Re: Dell XT2 touchpad not recognized
It seems my first guess was pretty close! If side scrolling is working then we're definitely in the neighborhood. Does vertical scrolling also work? Give the touchpad a pretty thorough workout and see if any expected features aren't working (it's helpful if you know what features are supported under Windows, e.g. two-fingered scrolling, etc.). Also let me know if you see any erratic behavior. We'll need to debug the trackstick a bit more it seems. Can you redo the second part of the test (collect dmesg after doing the 'echo 1 | ...' command), only this time rather than wiggling your finger on the touchpad, move the trackstick around a bit before collecting dmesg. Please try not to touch the touchpad at all, as I want to see only data from the trackstick so I can try and determine if it corresponds to any data format the driver already supports. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877666 Title: Dell XT2 touchpad not recognized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/877666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 877666] Re: Dell XT2 touchpad not recognized
It looks like there's a pretty good chance this is an ALPS touchpad. I've uploaded a test package that I'd like you to try. It's highly likely this package won't work and will make your touchpad unusable while you are testing it, so I suggest you have an external USB mouse available while testing. Prerequisite steps for testing: 1. Run the command 'sudo apt-get install input-utils' in a terminal After that, please download the following file: http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp877666/psmouse-alps-dkms /psmouse-alps-dkms_0.11_all.deb Then follow the following procedure for testing. 1. Open a terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the file, and run the command 'sudo apt-get install psmouse-alps-dkms_0.11_all.deb' 2. Run the command 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' followed by 'sudo modprobe psmouse' 3. Before trying to use the touchpad, run'sudo dmesg -c dmesg1.txt' 4. Try using the touchpad and trackstick, noting what happens when using each If the trackstick and touchpad are working, go ahead and report back your results here, including the dmesg1.txt file. If it isn't working or behaves erratically, continue with the following steps. 5. In a terminal, run 'echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/psmouse/parameters/alps_dump_packets' 6. Wiggle your finger around on the touchpad a bit, then run 'sudo dmesg -c dmesg2.txt Then post your results along with dmesg1.txt and dmesg2.txt here. To get back to your original state when you're finished, run the following three commands: sudo apt-get remove psmouse-alps-dkms sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse If that doesn't get your touchpad working, try rebooting.

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since it also exists with Fedora. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org [1]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug. If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report. That will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.
