@Mary: Awesome! I found what I needed:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input' info.callouts.add = {'hal-probe-vmmouse'} (string list) info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.mouse', 'input.touchpad'} (string list) info.category = 'input' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string) info.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string) info.subsystem = 'input' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input' (string) input.device = '/dev/input/event10' (string) input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string) input.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string) input.x11_driver = 'synaptics' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event10' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'input' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input10/event10' (string) This is a description of your mouse. So, your touchpad has been recognized properly (input.product looks good) and is using the synaptics driver (input.x11_driver). So, I think the issues you have are more at the synaptics X driver level than the kernel level. So, keeping with the idea of one bug per issue, I suggest opening a bug against the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package: ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge in that driver can help you sort out these issues. -- ALPS device (E7: 73 02 64) needs new model entry in alps.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545307 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
