[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

 

Yes I solved this problem All You need to do is

Install latest kernal 4.1 for linux [Kernal
4.1.6][1]http://ubuntuportal.com/2015/08/kernel-4-1-6-lts-ubuntu.html

Reboot

Now you will find Touchpad setting in your mouse setting which for
previously not there

But incase your Wireless might not work: here is solution [Download
latest bcmwl or Bradcom wireless Firmware(If it apply to you)]

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom-
0ubuntu3/+build/7418309

Download deb file and execute(Open Terminal go to folder path).

sudo dpkg -i bcmwl*.deb

Your wireless will now appear. Thats it.

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact: The end result of the commit is loss of scroll support, with no
  extra functionality gained.

  How addressed: By reverting the commit, the previously enabled scroll
  support is reestablished through the ImPS/2 extension.

  Reproduction: Run current Ubuntu kernel on affected hardware. Scroll
  functionality present in previous Ubuntu releases is now missing.

  Regression Potential: Since this is a revert of a one-line device id,
  the regression potential is minimal. The device should fall back to
  ImPS/2 protocol without issue.

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

  I have Ubuntu 9.10 and an Alps touchpad (E7: 73 02 64). Chase fixed
  the kernel so that it was recognized  and, indeed, the touchpad shows
  up in both gsynaptics and system>preferences>mouse, but when I
  actually try to adjust the settings nothing changes. My goal is to
  disable the tap-to-click feature or disable the touchpad when typing.
  Chase suggests it may be something related to the driver and to open
  another bug.
