I have a similar bug on a used Sony Vaio E-series. In this case, there is no stick; the system reads the touchpad as a PS/2 mouse and it is impossible to adjust sensitivity or disable tapping. It is sensitive enough that I have enabled a hotkey to disable the entire touchpad and enable typing, but when I need to move the cursor, it is liable to randomly click on anything in its path; when I attempt to type without using the hotkey, it is liable to move the cursor location as I'm typing.
It occurred in both Maverick and Natty; I reinstalled Maverick in the course of attempting to resolve the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762033 Title: ALPS touchpad recognized as generic PS/2 mouse -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
