[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

 

Thank you Seth! Removing the battery worked. Booting into the freshly
installed Natty, the touchpad worked as before. After booting the live
usb (which I installed and removed your driver before) - where the
touchpad didn't work - it worked in no OS again. So I just took out the
battery again, and reinstalled Natty on the usb drive. The touchpad now
works again. So this is where I am now.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with your dumps or xy_values. Attached
you'll find what sudo lsinput tells me.

This is all. I think the problem is related to the following three bug reports (I'm experiencing the same issue) so it might help you understanding what happens on my computer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/747092 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773165 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/782259

When do you think the next update of your driver will be available? I'm
thinking about returning the HP (if this annoying scrolling issue can't
be solved) for which I have about one more week of time. I'm happy to
test any new releases. :)
