I'm also having this problem with an HP Pavillion DM3 that I bought today - I had to create a /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf file with "options psmouse proto-imps" in order to get edge-scrolling working.
The issue appears to be caused by the touchpad being incorrectly detected as a PS/2 mouse. When I do the following: xinput test "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" nothing is registered. When I do this: xinput test "PS/2 Mouse" I get co-ordinates for every movement of the trackpad. Currently on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic. -- Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
