** Description changed: I have an alps touchpad on my laptop Acer 7741 laptop. It never got detected as a touhpad in ubuntu <= 11.04. Finally with 11.10, it finds it as a touchpad and in the mouse config I can see a touchpad tab. Changing the settings in the mouse config do nothing. xinput -list gives: Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3) ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ↳ HP Wireless Optical Mobile Mouse id=9 [slave pointer (2)] ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ↳ PS/2 Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)] (HP optical is my external mouse) I can modify the sensitivity of the touchpad when I change the PS/2 mouse settings with xinput. Changing any of the settings in the touchpad tab of the mouse GUI util has no effect. Disabling the PS/2 mouse disables the touchpad. Disabling the AlpsPS/2 glidepoint does nothing. When I do dmesg | grep -i input I get: [ 17.613230] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input11 [ 17.638723] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input12 blacklisting psmouse disables the touchpad. - I can use the tapping and movement features of the touchpad....but side- - scrolling, multi-touch and most importantly, disable touchpad when - typing does not work.
