trying to be too smart for my own good, i figured i would have a go and see if the new 2.6.22 kernel supported the touchpad using this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
once done and booted into, cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows exactly the same as before, as does cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep synaptics If this is a kernel recognition issue, what can i/we do about it? Thanks Alan -- Synaptics touchpad is incorrectly recogonised as a "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123775 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
