No, it also does not work in Hardy. The situation looks exactly the same: device not present in /proc/bus/input/devices.
Maybe this is interesting: if I run "sudo tpconfig", I get the following output: Found Synaptics Touchpad. Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode). I cannot tell what this actually means. It sounds like the touchpad is recognized at some level. However, I cannot change any of the touchpad settings. For instance if I run "sudo tpconfig -z4", to change the sensitivity, the command is syntactically recognized correctly. However, the value always remains at 6, as I get the following response: "Z threshold: 6 of 7.". If I enter a number larger than 7 (i.e. "sudo tpconfig -z8"), I get an error message: 'Invalid Z threshold "8" [use 0-7].' Thanks to everyone who is willing to look into this. Please let me know if I can provide any further information or if can run some additional tests. --hasi -- ALPS touchpad not recognized in Dell Latitude E6400 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
