I downloaded Dave's patch in #144 and followed the install instructions in #152. On reboot, my computer would freeze during boot with the ubuntu logo and the row of dots. Attempts to boot into "recovery mode" also did not complete, with freeze for a minute or so and then a stacktrace/dump scrolling by. I was able to boot into a previous kernel via GRUB with no problem, and this command successfully removed the patch from the primary kernel:
sudo dkms remove -m psmouse -v alps-dst-0.1 --all The "--all" was necessary because I was booted into a different kernel than the one into which this was installed. I am on a Dell N5110 with Ubuntu 12.10 beta, x86_64, kernel 3.5.0-14. I am happy to reproduce and upload any log files that may help. My laptop is only a few months old, so it may be that Dell has decided to put a different (and even more incompatible) version of the ALPS trackpad in. If there is anything I can do to help test, please let me know. Otherwise I will watch here to see if you post updates and try those when they appear. -- 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
