[Bug 1058346] Re: [Acer Aspire One 725] Touchpad not working

 

Does this mean that if I update to the latest saucy, all packages from
repo, this issue is resolved? Or are the changes still in the process of
getting approved, or something similar, and we'll have to wait until we
see this update pop-up in Ubuntu 13.10?

Title:
  [Acer Aspire One 725] Touchpad not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Touchpad will not work out of the box on this netbook.
  It is confirmed by others on Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=cec0ec3dc913c2a7b7e5579ce76e8609&t=2020719&page=2

  I have tested through the following mainline kernels and this issue is not reproducible:
  v3.5.1-quantal/
  v3.5.2-quantal/
  v3.5.3-quantal/
  v3.5.4-quantal/

  This workaround will fix the problem partially:

      Open the Terminal
      cd /etc/modprobe.d/
      gksudo gedit options.conf
      In the text editor, type: options psmouse proto=imps
      Save the file and close it.
      sudo modprobe -r psmouse
      sudo modprobe psmouse

  but has sideeffects as you will read.

  WORKAROUND: Pushing Fn+F7 (which is the turn on combination for the
  touchpad) before loging in makes the tp work perfectly.
