@bgamari In reaction to my previous comment (#160), I have succeeded to make the change persistant.
I have firstly backup the original psmouse.ko sudo cp /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko ~/<backup directory>/psmouse.ko.backup Next I have copied the psmouse.ko created from your instructions to replace the original psmouse.ko sudo cp linux/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko And issued the following commands sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse This worked. Now also after reboot the touchpad is still detected $ xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ DualPoint Stick id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)] Once again, thanks for the help and the fix -- 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
