[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 755518] Re: Synaptics Touchpad incorrectly detected as PS/2 mouse on clausoft MNW737 (aka meenee, aka PX1)
Thanks for confirming it's still a problem in new linux kernel. And very good to see someone else with the same hardware and an interest in finding a fix. Why did you change affects? I'm pretty sure this is a linux kernel problem, specifically a driver problem. See similar bug 606238 and particularly comment 77 where Seth Forshee points to his blog entry, where he describes how to get started reverse- engineering touchpad protocols. He did this successfully for the ALPS driver and his fixes have been submitted upstream. See his comment 492 on Bug 550625 for his DKMS package. I think I've established that the hardware on this meenee is not ALPS and is not helped by Seth's specific fix to drivers/input/mouse/alps.c I can't apply his tactics to snoop on the touchpad protocol until I can get hold of a USB CD drive. -- 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/755518 Title: Synaptics Touchpad incorrectly detected as PS/2 mouse on clausoft MNW737 (aka meenee, aka PX1) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/755518/+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

I've added a comment to that bug. I don't think marking as duplicate, or removing or adjusting such a mark, is a privileged operation, but it must be best if it's done by someone familiar with their symptoms. So I won't dive in and adjust a lot of bugs. (I suffer from a different bug, but I'm hoping to get some benefit from this renewed interest and Seth's good work. Bug 755518, probably Synaptics not ALPS chip.) -- 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

I agree, Bug 606238 looks different from this - I've unmarked it as duplicate and taken the liberty of subscribing Seth. I'm not certain about all the other bugs listed. It might be useful if anyone with those possible duplicates could load the DKMS package attached to comment 492 on this Bug 550625 and report the E6 and E7 IDs and, generally, the results they get (reporting into a comment on their own bug) -- 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

Hi, jzachariou at comment #182 adrian-wechner at comment #341 I notice you both see E7 report: 10 00 64 and the fix doesn't work for you. This report matches bug 755518 - please could you add your observations to that bug? (I think there's a Synaptics touchpad hardware version which also needs a driver fix, affecting Dell Inspiron N5110 / 15R amongst others) Thanks Ed -- 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

Hi Rick it would be annoying to have this bug auto-closed just because a new version of ubuntu came out. You can use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ to make a bootable USB stick very easily, and then update this bug with collected data from 11.04 Natty. please do!

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 749508] Re: Latitude E6510 : No Touchpad driver
This is a relevant upstream bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14660 and there seems to be some difficulty in getting an acceptable fix in place. Linus' tree as mirrrored here does not yet show any change in place: https://github.com/mirrors/linux-2.6/blob/master/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c Someone from Dell did submit a (large) patch but it was not accepted. See http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=support+for+Intellimouse+Mode+in+ALPS+touchpad+on+Dell+E2 This has been running since August 2010. There seem to be issues concerning suspend/resume and the more general applicability of the solution. For a specific laptop, your best bet seems to be to apply the one-line change from bug 754344 (although that doesn't give you a fully featured touchpad) ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #14660 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14660 -- 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/749508 Title: Latitude E6510 : No Touchpad driver ___ 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

(By the way, I'm just an innocent bystander with a superficially similar problem. My bug 755518 hasn't received any visible attention yet.)

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 747484] Re: Synaptics touchpad/touchstick not detected on Dell Latitude E6410
As bug 727259 (affects a Dell M4500) was helped by the fix to bug 754344, I think that means it has an ALPS trackpad. Whereas I think your result with tpconfig means you have a Synaptics trackpad. So I don't think these two are dupes. The workaround I suggested to bug 727259 actually only disables the touchpad during typing: it doesn't help with setting touchpad options and so doesn't disable tap to click or tap and drag. Nonetheless, it helped me. I've put the source and binary here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3285944 /touchpad-fixup-tool.tgz My own bug 755518 could be related to this one - tpconfig is showing the same firmware.
