I can confirm this bug in Ubuntu 9.04, the problem seems to occur only when Ubuntu is installed from Windows XP. When booting using the Live CD this problem does not occur.
The work around by Sebastian Urban, solves the problem with no obvious side effects: sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps I'm using a Philips Freevents X51 laptop, which seems to be quite rare, since Philips don't officially make laptops. -- ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad does not work (but its buttons do) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355161 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
