["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jonathan Lumb, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Touchpad recognised as generic PS/2 mouse

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

  It would seem that this bug is similar to the following although on different hardware:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/650529

  Dell Inspiron N5030 running Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, kernel
  2.6.37-020637rc2-generic.

  The touchpad is failing to be recognised as a touchpad and being
  configured instead as a PS/2 generic mouse. As a consequence, settings
  such as touchpad sensitivity, scrolling, tapping, multi-touch etc.
  cannot be altered in the slightest making the touchpad very
  unresponsive and pretty much useless.

  Here are the outputs to a couple of commands that may be useful:

  
  ~$ xinput list
  ⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
  ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]

  It appears, although not mentioned above, that this Dell model uses an
  Alps touchpad.

  Please can something be done about this bug so that a laptop that
  offers otherwise full support on Ubuntu can be made even better - this
  issue seriously affects the usability of this computer under Ubuntu
  and I suspect it will affect many users as this is a popular model!

  Thanks
