The laptop trackpad has ceased its functioning after the steps outlined below.
I have attempted reloading the psmouse module via
<code>
modprobe -r !$ && modprobe !$ ;
</code>
to no avail. Ubuntu still responds to the left/0 button, however.
<code>
egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices ;
</code>
Defines
<code>
Name="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"
Handlers=mouse0 event6
</code>
as the mouse handler.

FOOT NOTE ON INSTALLING OPENFRAMEWORKS
openFrame works shell script at
"${ofRoot}/scripts/linux/ubuntu/install_dependancies.sh" WILL NOT RUN in the
manner defined by the openFrameworks documentation:
<code>
sudo ./install_dependancies.sh ;
</code>
The error message suggested that my internet connection may be failing;
however, this was not true, so I installed the gstreamer plug-ins in the final
if block (of the referenced script, snippet to follow) via <code>apt-get
install; </code>
<code>
apt-get update
GSTREAMER_VERSION=0.10
GSTREAMER_FFMPEG=gstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-ffmpeg
echo "detecting latest gstreamer version"
apt-cache show libgstreamer1.0-dev
exit_code=$?
if [ $exit_code = 0 ]; then
echo selecting gstreamer 1.0
GSTREAMER_VERSION=1.0
GSTREAMER_FFMPEG=gstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-libav
fi
# {...}
echo "installing gstreamer"
apt-get install libgstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-dev ${GSTREAMER_FFMPEG}
gstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-pulseaudio gstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-x
gstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-plugins-bad gstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-alsa
gstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-plugins-base
gstreamer${GSTREAMER_VERSION}-plugins-good
exit_code=$?
if [ $exit_code != 0 ]; then
echo "error installing gstreamer, there could be an error with your
internet connection"
echo "if the error persists, please report an issue in github:
http://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues";
exit $exit_code
fi
</code>
I installed gstreamer 1.0, and (of course, to my chagrin) that did not
solve the dependancy issue. I attempted to install each of the
dependancies with apt-get individually (the ones in this if block, where
i thought the problem was), and found that gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package
is not available in the standard repositories. I did install the
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package from a third party. However, the script
still did not recognize that all of the dependancies were installed!
A clever person on the openFrameworks community forum announced that if
you (fix broken and install the packages freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
freeglut3-dbg) via synaptic install_dependancies.sh runs without errors.
By some freak twist of package manangement abstraction the script only
worked properly after that operation. I did just go ahead and install
synaptic to replicate the experiment accurately: I do not know if I
could have just installed those packages through apt-get without broken
dependancies. If so, openFrameworks should know that freeglut3 et al
should be in their linux/ubuntu/install_dependancies.sh script.
