I just got a Dell Inspiron 15R, installed precise and updated. The current kernel is 3.2.0-24-generic-pae. The problem still exists, and was frustrating me. I fixed it (hopefully) by following the instructions on this thread to add the ALPS awareness in the psmouse driver:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/104431/how-do-i-enable-multi-touch-on-a -dell-inspiron-n5110-with-an-alps-touchpad and then tuning the delay using sudo syndaemon -i 2 -k -t -R It appears to be working much cleaner. It's a tricky problem, and one that many people will like different solutions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678103 Title: Dell Inspiron N Series, Touchpad recognised as generic PS/2 mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/678103/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
