Dell I15R N5100 running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I've just marked 678103, 737051, 903236 as dups to this bug. Each has similar symptoms at root and seems to deal with the ALPS touchpad through the synaptics interface. Some solutions seem to revolve around the X setup but I couldn't make any work reliably.
I put a fairly lengthy comment of my research at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/737051 I used the DKM driver at http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps- touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.10/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.10_all.deb and added an E7 include of 0x73, 0x03, 0x50 to recognize my touchpad. Better but still getting spurious cursor movement and mouse refocus. I'm going to look at forshee touchpad reverse engineering doc for some clues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
