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

 

Did try the dkms module on Oneiric Ozelot and an HP Mini 311. Is the
first time I am actually able to type two sentences in a row without the
cursor jumping somwhere I don't want it to and without a chance to argue
with the machine that I didn't even get near to the touchpad all this
time.

Great work!

...Did encounter a (solvable) problem, though. don't know if it is my fault:
After installing the package and rebooting my computer seemed to still use the shipped psmouse.ko. So I did a
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
since I thought the initramfs could still hold the old module.

Didn't do any good, that. Renaming psmouse.ko to psmouse2.ko and adding a
rmmod psmouse
modprobe psmouse2
to /etc/rc.local did help.

Don't know what went wrong. But as I said: Might be entirely my fault.
