My system locked up when removing psmouse as well.. and apparently corrupted the modules table and (somehow) the nvidia module. I'm assuming that dkms rebuilt the nvidia module along with the psmouse module, and the data hadn't been committed to disk (er, ssd) yet. I ended up having to purge the dkms psmouse package, wipe out the modules, run a 'depmod -a', re-install the package and let it build, and then reboot without trying to remove psmouse.. after that, the new driver worked fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
