Hello Christopher Yes this is still an issue in 13.10.
I downloaded the latest development release to test, as requested. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that when booting from a live CD the touchpad is recognised as an ''Alps PS/2 Glidepoint'', the touchpad settings are back in System Settings and I can disable tap to click and disable the touchpad when typing. The bad news is that the Acer Aspire 5720 has three physical buttons below the touchpad - Left button, Right button, and a middle 4-way button (as per my original bug report). This middle 4-way button has previously always worked for scrolling multiple lines up/down and left/right. The scrolling now only works one line at a time, whereas previously in ubuntu 11.10, 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 the scrolling worked continuously i.e hold down the 'down' part of the middle button and the scrolling down would continue until the button was released. This stopped working after upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10. I have always found this multi-line scrolling functionality tremendously useful. Is there any way to get this functionality back? Do you still want me to run the apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input- synaptics REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER command from the development release Live CD? Many thanks for your help so far.
