Public bug reported: On my Dell Inspiron 15R (Dell N5110) the touchpad is recognized as PS/2 Generic Mouse. I tried some solutions and tips and none of them worked. I found a Work-In-Progress driver in #550625 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625)
This didn't work for me either. Seth Forshee in comment #431 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625/comments/431) asked me to file different bug, because my hardware is somewhat different. And here I am! There is no scrolling, no multitouch and I can't deactivate my touchpad, because it is recognized as PS/2 mouse (OK, I can but only with 'sudo rmmod psmouse' and until next system start). After installing 0.6 version (http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.6/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.6_all.deb) sudo rmmod psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse dmesg: [ 3709.329414] alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64 [ 3709.348726] alps.c: E7 report: 73 03 50 [ 3709.903977] input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input13 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic 2.6.38-11.50 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.50-generic 2.6.38.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
