thanks Mihai and cement_head, I applied the patch for Maverick and it works very well, although the delay after after typing (1 second) is still a litte too long for me :-) This is an ingenious work-around, kudos to Mihai.
Just in case somebody couldn't apply the patch in Maverick, the current version in Maverick is 1.22, and the patch won't be able to apply. I downloaded version 1.3.99 as mentioned on Mihai's blog (in the comment) instead: http://patchlog.com/xserver-xorg-input- synaptics-1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a.tar.gz cement_head's patch for Maverick didn't go through completely (FAILED at 67 and and 527) but adding the declaration to isMouse and changing the while loop manually was easy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760142 Title: Several Ubuntu-certified Dell laptops: ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint configure as PS/2 mouse instead of proper touchpad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/760142/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
