@J. McDonald: Good find! I would appreciate it if someone could test if blacklisting psmouse solves the issue. Be aware though, that if you blacklist psmouse and the alps driver still isn't working, then you may have difficulties in the desktop session :). If you find yourself in this situation, switch to a VT using 'ctrl+alt+1', log in, and use "sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/touchpad" to delete the blacklist. Then run 'sudo restart gdm' to start the X desktop again.
The maintainer of the input subsystem of the kernel noted that this could also be due to a new ALPS protocol. If that's the case, we may have difficulties determining how to talk to these new mice. -- 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
