I while in VT I confirmed what Tuxinvader found. This time around "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" was at /dev/input/event9 and "PS/2 Mouse" was at /dev/input/event8.
Like Tuxinvager, I was able to get the trackpad to output but only with $ sudo evtest /dev/input/event8 | tee evtest2.dump evtest2.dump is attached. As with the last go round, doing $ sudo evtest /dev/input/event9 | tee evtest1.dump gave no output from the trackpad. I quite with CRTL-C (thanks) and the resulting evtest1.dump file was empty. So the ALPS trackpad is using the PS/2 Mouse driver. Surprising that it works at all. Very strange. Are there any hints in the dmesg or Xorg.0.log? ** Attachment added: "evtest2.dump" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44864182/evtest2.dump -- Alps touchpad is recognized but neither gsynaptics nor mouse preferences work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
