[Bug 1291470] Re: Touchpad recognized as generic mouse

 

Sorry, the Trusty kernel is based off the 3.13 kernel, so we would need
to identify the commit in 3.14.1 and backport it to 3.13, unless the
commit was cc'd for inclusion in all stable releases.

Can you give the latest 3.13 upstream kernel a test, which can be
downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13.10-trusty/

  Touchpad recognized as generic mouse

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Laptop Model: Gateway NE72203h
  Touchpad manufacturer: ALPS
  Ubuntu version: 14.04

  In a terminal, the command "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" shows the
  following:

  I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0001 Version=0000
  N: Name="PS/2 Generic Mouse"
  P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
  S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input16
  U: Uniq=
  H: Handlers=mouse0 event10 
  B: PROP=0
  B: EV=7
  B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0
  B: REL=3

  According to the Ubuntu documentation,
  (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection) this would be
  would be a problem with the kernel which doesn't recognize the
  touchpad properly.

  
  Thank you for your attention,
  PS: my apology if this bug report is sent to the wrong team, I'm fairly new to Linux in general and this is my first time filling a bug report.
