Thanks for confirming it's still a problem in new linux kernel. And very good to see someone else with the same hardware and an interest in finding a fix.
Why did you change "affects"? I'm pretty sure this is a linux kernel problem, specifically a driver problem. See similar bug 606238 and particularly comment 77 where Seth Forshee points to his blog entry, where he describes how to get started reverse- engineering touchpad protocols. He did this successfully for the ALPS driver and his fixes have been submitted upstream. See his comment 492 on Bug 550625 for his DKMS package. I think I've established that the hardware on this meenee is not ALPS and is not helped by Seth's specific fix to drivers/input/mouse/alps.c I can't apply his tactics to snoop on the touchpad protocol until I can get hold of a USB CD drive. -- 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/755518 Title: Synaptics Touchpad incorrectly detected as PS/2 mouse on clausoft MNW737 (aka meenee, aka PX1) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/755518/+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
