-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Up-To-Date Sid on a Vaio PCG-GRT170.
I finally tracked down the problem I've had trying to go from kernel 2.6.10 to 2.6.11, which I noticed recently became the "official" latest Debian kernel. Or rather, 2.6.10 is showing up as obsolete today. Anyway, when the "psmouse" module loads in 2.6.10, I get the following message: - ----------- ~# modprobe psmouse input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio1 - ----------- and everything works just fine. Smooth fine position control, 3-button emulation, copy/paste, strike the touchpad surface and it "clicks" button 1, stuff like that. However, under 2.6.11, the following message comes up: - ----------- ~# modprobe psmouse ALPS Touchpad (Glidepoint) detected Disabling hardware tapping input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 - ----------- Fine movement is no longer smooth, distance is inconsistent, copy/paste is flaky to say the least, and worst of all there is no "click" when I hit the touchpad with my finger. Is there a way to disable checking, to force "PS/2 Generic"-ness upon the module? Sometimes hardware detection can go too far, it seems. I'm not going to open a trouble ticket on the module until it's obvious there is no way around the detection routine, or I can communicate the action and fix to the kernel packagers.
