According to Lenovo's website (consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers_Show_4482.html), in Windows the SlideNav depends on the Synaptics driver. This makes me think that the SlideNav manufacturer is Synaptics. It is also called slidebar in many hardware manuals from Lenovo.
In addition, my slidenav it's not detected as a keyboard but in /proc/bus/input/devices I have a "PS/2 Generic Mouse" even when there's no PS/2 connector in my notebook. Since Synaptics touchpads are also PS/2, I'm guessing that the slidenav is detected as that extra mouse because that's the generic catch-all. If this is right, we should file a feature request in the bugzilla for xorg-input-synaptic (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?product=xorg&component=Input%2Fsynaptics) instead of the linux-kernel. I attached details of the hardware. ** Attachment added: "Output of various commands" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/543119/+attachment/3148605/+files/details.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543119 Title: Lenovo touch inductive SlideNav panel not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/543119/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
