Thank you Seth! Removing the battery worked. Booting into the freshly installed Natty, the touchpad worked as before. After booting the live usb (which I installed and removed your driver before) - where the touchpad didn't work - it worked in no OS again. So I just took out the battery again, and reinstalled Natty on the usb drive. The touchpad now works again. So this is where I am now.
Unfortunately, I can't help you with your dumps or xy_values. Attached you'll find what sudo lsinput tells me. $ sudo modprobe serio_raw $ sudo ./alps-reg-dump Error: Could not locate serio mouse $ sudo input-events 10 /dev/input/event10 bustype : BUS_I8042 vendor : 0x2 product : 0x8 version : 0 name : "PS/2 Mouse" phys : "isa0060/serio4/input1" bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_REL waiting for events 17:44:36.446555: EV_REL REL_Y 1 17:44:36.446572: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 17:44:40.084143: EV_REL REL_Y 1 17:44:40.084158: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 17:44:40.103916: EV_REL REL_Y 1 17:44:40.103925: EV_SYN code=0 value=0 $ sudo input-events 11 /dev/input/event11 bustype : BUS_I8042 vendor : 0x2 product : 0x8 version : 29478 name : "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" phys : "isa0060/serio4/input0" bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_ABS waiting for events This is all. I think the problem is related to the following three bug reports (I'm experiencing the same issue) so it might help you understanding what happens on my computer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/747092 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773165 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/782259 When do you think the next update of your driver will be available? I'm thinking about returning the HP (if this annoying scrolling issue can't be solved) for which I have about one more week of time. I'm happy to test any new releases. :) ** Attachment added: "lsinput.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625/+attachment/2408671/+files/lsinput.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
