In VT, I did: $ sudo lsinput | less
and found "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" at /dev/input/event7 so then I did: $ sudo evtest /dev/input/event7 | tee evtest.dump and wound up with a blinking cursor and no output at all corresponding to input from the trackpad. I had to do a forced shutdown to get out of it. I will check to see if evtest.dump was created and post output here if I find it. -- Alps touchpad is recognized but neither gsynaptics nor mouse preferences work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 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
