@quarara Explode the tarball:
cd $HOME mkdir Stage tar -jxvf $HOME/Download/psmouse-alps-dst-0.1.tbz This will make a $HOME/Stage/README that should explain everything. It has a couple embedded scripts to build/install the DLKM. I forgot to document the DLKM source needs to be put under /usr/src: cd $HOME/Stage sudo cp -Rvup usr / BTW, you need sudo rights. Look in $HOME/Stage/README for the build_alps shell function to build/probe the driver. See man:dkms for more info. @richard-merren As far as I'm aware, my psmouse DLKM will work for Dell N5110 ONLY because it has a whacky control response code. For entering command mode it expects 0x73 0x01 where all the prior ALPS touchpad models expect 0x88 0x07 so it's hardcoded in the driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
