There seems to have been an earlier problem where psmouse loading prior to synaptics would prevent synaptics from loading:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035407 A temporary workaround was to blacklist psmouse and load the module after boot from rc.local I checked the loaded modules and it does look like synaptics is not loading, so maybe this issue has been around for awhile. -- 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
