To recap: the ALPS GlidePoint can in theory be used with a generic PS/2 driver, a generic ImPS/2 driver, or the advanced synaptic/alps driver.
If 0x73, 0x02, 0x64 is added to the alps driver, the kernel will use this to talk to the touchpad. However, the touchpad uses a protocol that is slightly different from the other alps touchpads, and we haven't figured out exactly how it works. Because of that, when the alps driver is used, all the fancy features will appear to be available in the config screens, but will not actually work. Scrolling will not work either. The generic PS/2 driver doesn't support scrolling. The generic ImPS/2 driver does support scrolling. Until we figure out what protocol this touchpad uses, we should fall back to these, and use the configuration as described by Rocky in #78 to make sure ImPS/2 is used and scrolling works. Anything I can do to help figure out the protocol for the alps driver with this touchpad? -- Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 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
