Alex Palecek, as per
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=449144#N1046
an update is available for your BIOS (3.28). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [HP Pavilion a805n] Trackpad not recognized on Perixx Multiboard-716
  wireless keyboard w/trackpad

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Recently purchased a wireless keyboard with built-in touchpad
  (PERIBOARD-716 mfg'd by Perixx). Touchpad has proper mouse
  functionality, but no touchpad-specific features are available (multi-
  finger scrolling, etc.). In fact, it appears that it's not even
  recognized by the kernel as a trackpad.

  I'm reporting this bug as suggested at:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection#In_case_Touchpad_features_like_scrolling.2C_tapping.2C_etc_do_not_work_at_all.

  I suspect this may be a kernel issue (as cat /proc/bus/input/device
  yields nothing specific to the touchpad, and the Mouse control panel
  doesn't show a Trackpad tab), but am reporting it here as the wiki
  page suggested, as I'm not totally sure this is a kernel issue.

  Although I'm running Lucid (lacks true multitouch support), I was
  hoping to use a workaround to at least get two finger scrolling. No
  dice, it seems.

  Attached: output of
     cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
     xinput --list
     cat /proc/bus/input/devices

  Thx
  Alex
