works, great. I edited the patch according your inscructions (line 175) and changed the git diff lilnes so that it can be applied directly in ~/linux-2.6.35/drivers/input/mouse/
Here is what I had to do on delle6510 with ubuntu 10.10 2.6.35-22-generic-pae: (to remind myself of my first kernel module patching session) ;-) Install kernel headers: sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r) apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) this puts a "linux-[your-version]" directory into your home install git: sudo apt-get install git change into it: cd src/drivers/input/mouse backup alps.c, alps.h, psmouse.h apply patch: patch -p0 < patch-dell-e6510 make & install: make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` psmouse.ko sudo rmmod psmouse sudo cp psmouse.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/ sudo modprobe psmouse thanks everybody very much! :m) ** Attachment added: "patch-dell-e6510" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625/+attachment/1683650/+files/patch-dell-e6510 -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
