I had the same problem on hp nx8220. The problem now seems to be solved via modifying xorg.conf. In the sever layout section I changed
InputDevice "TouchPad" "AlwaysCore" InputDevice "Mouse" "CorePointer" to InputDevice "TouchPad" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse" On my machine this fixed the issue. -- [Hardy] synaptic touchpad not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195009 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
