Public bug reported:
I have just upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty. The touchpad for my Sony Vaio
VGN-TX3XP laptop no longer works at all.
Under Intrepid (and before that, on Hardy and Feisty, if I recall correctly)
the touchpad was detected properly and I was able to use it without any issues.
The bug 361845 may be same as this bug, but I think it's different
because as far as I can tell, my kernel is not even detecting the
touchpad (in that bug apparently kernel is detecting the touchpad).
Because of this I opened a new bug report.
$ cd /var/lib/acpi-support/; grep '.' *-*
bios-version:R0021N3
system-manufacturer:Sony Corporation
system-product-name:VGN-TX3XP_B
system-version:J001QD5V
$ uname -a
Linux spirit 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686
GNU/Linux
also same problem when using this kernel:
$ uname -a
Linux spirit 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
I have also installed the linux-restricted-modules package in the hope
that it would help, but to no avail.
$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.28-11.42-generic
also this:
$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.27-9.19-generic
Please note that I'm using an external USB mouse, which works fine --
this may be shown in the messages. Under Intrepid, I was able to use
both the touchpad and the external mouse together without problems, as
well as the touchpad when the USB mouse was not connected.
I have also tried the following, with no success:
1) creating the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/synaptics.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics">
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll"
type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
2) creating the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics">
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">True</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
3) Un-commenting the section "Synaptics Touchpad" Input Device section
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which has a note of "commented out by update-
manager, HAL is now used"
