Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 Version: 2.6.24-7 Severity: normal File: /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko
*** Please type your report below this line *** As noticed in bug report #452752 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452752) there was a need to patch the file drivers/input/mouse/alps.c in order to make the touch pad's scroll work in some laptops. At that time it was said that the patch was going to be included in the 2.6.24 kernel. I installed Debian Lenny in a new Dell 1420 and after installation upgraded the kernel to 2.6.24-1-amd64 but the touch pad's scroll does not work. So I downloaded the kernel source to apply the patch that was working in another Dell inspiron 1420 with kernel 2.6.22 and noticed that the patch was already applied but with a small change. In the current 2.6.24 source the patched line (line 36) says: { { 0x73, 0x02, 0x50 }, 0xcf, 0xcf, ALPS_FW_BK_1 } /* Dell Vostro 1400 */ However the patch I was applying to 2.6.22 says: { { 0x73, 0x02, 0x50 }, 0x4f, 0x4f, ALPS_FW_BK_1 } /* Dell Vostro 1400 */ So I changed it, recompiled and reinstalled the mouse drivers, but the scroll still doesn't work. Then I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.25-2-amd64 but the scroll didn't work either. P.D.: Please don't pay attention to the "hardy" entry in "APT policy" it appears because of a repository I must add in order to install wxFormBuilder, there is no Debian package for that, but that repository only has the wxFormBuilder package. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (500, 'hardy') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.92a tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.4-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.24-1-amd64: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.24-1-amd64: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.24-1-amd64: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.24-1-amd64: false linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.24-1-amd64: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/abort-install-2.6.24-1-amd64: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/initrd-2.6.24-1-amd64: linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.24-1-amd64: true linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.24-1-amd64: false -- Jaime Alberto Silva Ingeniero Electricista http://jaimealbertosilva.blogspot.com/
