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.
