Public bug reported: Touchpad will not work out of the box on this netbook. It is confirmed by others on Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=cec0ec3dc913c2a7b7e5579ce76e8609&t=2020719&page=2
This workaround will fix the problem partially: Open the Terminal cd /etc/modprobe.d/ gksudo gedit options.conf In the text editor, type: options psmouse proto=imps Save the file and close it. sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse but has sideeffects as you will read. ** Affects: linux-ac100 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058346 Title: Touchpad not working on Acer Aspire One 725 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ac100/+bug/1058346/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
