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

 

César, Hemanti: I've uploaded a 0.4 package for both of you to test. In
only adds two things -- some debug output and a reset prior to
initialization.

http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/alps-touchpad/psmouse-alps-0.4
/psmouse-alps-dkms_0.4_all.deb

César, what I need from you is for you to open a terminal, make it full
screen, and ensure it has focus. Generate the stray middle click problem
and stop touching the touchpad as soon as it happens. Then, without
touching the touchpad, run the command "dmesg > dmesg-stray-click.txt".
Then attach the dmesg-stray-click.txt file here.

Hemanti, I added a reset before initializing the touchpad to see if it
gets your hardware out of whatever goofy state it's in following a
reboot. I really don't know why this happens (I don't see it on any of
the machines I'm testing with), but the reset might help. Please test
and let me know.

Everyone else: unless you are experiencing one of the problems César or
Hemanti are seeing and want to help debug, just stick with the 0.3
version.
