Possibly #1336086 is a dublicate. I am confirming this bug for my DELL LATITUDE D620 (old machine) and Ubuntu Trusty LTS.
The trouble with the touchpad driver - the touchpad being misrecognised as a PS2 mouse - seems to occure with different DELL models as well as even with different manufacturers (cf. #1336086). Since working with a pointing device is essential to productive working on a computer and since there has been often trouble with this driver since Ubuntu Precise (solving the bug seems to have been eventually dropped for Precise, Quantal etc.) I would like to suggest that a bug solution should be intensively worked on. -- 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/1329034 Title: Touchpad only recognized as mouse2 but does not offer scrolling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1329034/+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
