The Touchpad tab is visible in System->Preferences->Mouse but when touching, tapping touchpad cursor doesn't move at all and the following is logged: psmouse.c: bad data from KBC - timeout -- [Karmic] Touchpad not recognised correctly, synaptics driver not in use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
