simar, thank you for your attention into this problem. As Segitz stated, VAIO E series area ALPS (multitouch) touchpad.
I think original summary was ok because default 10.04 installation detect it as AlpS and neither vertical/horizontal scrollbar works. In a effort to make both work, I blindy updated my kernel to 2.6.34, which made vertical scrollbar work, later to 2.6.35-rc3 but nothing else changed. Then I upgraded Xorg with xorg-edgers's ppa, wich I might say, worsen the situation as I lost the ability to simulate 3rd button click (mouse wheel click / middle button click). I already had installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics when doing the xev's test. $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i TouchPad <nothing> $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i Synaptics <nothing> I had a optical mouse connected last time, so a new grep -i mouse: $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep mouse $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i -n1 mouse 335-[ 26.360] (==) intel(0): Backing store disabled 336:[ 26.360] (==) intel(0): Silken mouse enabled 337-[ 26.377] (II) intel(0): Initializing HW Cursor -- 433-[ 28.784] (**) Option "xkb_options" "grp:alts_toggle" 434:[ 28.784] (II) config/udev: Adding input device ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse (/dev/input/event6) 435:[ 28.784] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" 436:[ 28.784] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: always reports core events 437:[ 28.784] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event6" 438:[ 28.800] (--) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Found 3 mouse buttons 439:[ 28.800] (--) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Found scroll wheel(s) 440:[ 28.800] (--) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Found relative axes 441:[ 28.800] (--) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Found x and y relative axes 442:[ 28.800] (II) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: Configuring as mouse 443:[ 28.800] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 444:[ 28.800] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 445:[ 28.800] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" (type: MOUSE) 446:[ 28.800] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1 447:[ 28.800] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: (accel) acceleration profile 0 448:[ 28.800] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000 449:[ 28.800] (**) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4 450:[ 28.800] (II) ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse: initialized for relative axes. 451:[ 28.800] (II) config/udev: Adding input device ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse (/dev/input/mouse1) 452-[ 28.800] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring) -- 454-[ 28.804] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring) 455:[ 28.804] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Sony Vaio Jogdial (/dev/input/mouse0) 456-[ 28.804] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring) That's how my xorg is actually detecting (2) mouse in my system. It calls my attention the "Vaio Jogdial". I think my laptop does not physically have one. -- horizontal scrollbar does not work in VAIO VPCEB15EL touchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565543 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
