[Bug 1033568] Re: ACER aspire S3 track pad doesn't work with 12.04, backport needed from 12.10

 

Hi Kate,

Are you still around?
We encountered a issue, bug 1188025, that introduced by the commit that fixed your problem.
I have to do some test to figure out a solution to make both happy.
So, could you give me a hand to test the code from my directory?

http://people.canonical.com/~acelan/bugs/lp1188025/

1. download the tarball and do 'tar zxvf mouse.tgz'
2. cd mouse ; make
3. sudo rmmod psmouse
4. sudo insmod ./psmouse.ko
5. and then see if your clickpad right click works
6. to revert the work above
   sudo rmmod psmouse
   sudo modprobe psmouse

Thanks.

Title:
  ACER aspire S3 track pad doesn't work with 12.04,  backport needed
  from 12.10

Bug description:
  Initial install of 12.04 on ACER ASPIRE S3-951-6828 had trackpad not
  working properly when left/right button pressed.   Specifically other
  motion on the trackpad was not detected when those buttons were
  pressed,  but were detected otherwise.    It did respond to button
  select and using the arrow keys.

  12.04 was updated to the latest kernel in -updates (3.2.0-27.43) - and
  problem was still there.

  update-manager -d to 12.10 seems to have resolved issue.
