Did try the dkms module on Oneiric Ozelot and an HP Mini 311. Is the first time I am actually able to type two sentences in a row without the cursor jumping somwhere I don't want it to and without a chance to argue with the machine that I didn't even get near to the touchpad all this time.
Great work! ...Did encounter a (solvable) problem, though. don't know if it is my fault: After installing the package and rebooting my computer seemed to still use the shipped psmouse.ko. So I did a sudo depmod -a sudo update-initramfs -u since I thought the initramfs could still hold the old module. Didn't do any good, that. Renaming psmouse.ko to psmouse2.ko and adding a rmmod psmouse modprobe psmouse2 to /etc/rc.local did help. Don't know what went wrong. But as I said: Might be entirely my fault. -- 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
