[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work
Seth, Thanks a lot for the comments. I had mistakenly installed a wrong version and now the touchpad works fine. Even Fn+F3 disables the touchpad as expected. There are a few issues like two-finger zoom and the touchpad LED (supposed to be turned on when the touchpad is disabled) but this is a huge update and I really appreciate your work. quarara, I think you have a similar problem to mine. Uninstall the deb package, update your system, download again the deb package provided in comment #492, install it, shut down your laptop, remove power sources (the cord and battery) for a few seconds, and then turn on your laptop. NOTICE that shutting down is VERY IMPORTANT.

quarara, Does you laptop's touchpad works like a basic mouse? Please post your dmesg and also 'xinput list'. Mine was detected as a mouse before installing this patch and pressing Fn+F3 was showing an empty notification while the touchpad was still functional (enabled). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
