Public bug reported: This bug is similar to bugs 123775, 506502, and 197905: the touchpad on the Acer AO532-2326 netbook running UNR 9.10 is identified by the kernel only as "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" in /proc/bus/input/devices, the output of lshal, and dmesg.
Unlike similar bugs, the output of tpconfig -i is: Could not open PS/2 Port [/dev/psaux]. Also unlike similar bugs, the touchpad works but is overly sensitive, making the keyboard very difficult to use due to tap to click false positives. I installed gsynaptics, but System->Preferences->Touchpad gives this error: GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics As far as I can tell, there is no xorg.conf file. Adding a /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi file didn't seem to have any effect either. This is a serious usability issue for this netbook. Please let me know if I can help fix it.
