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

 

Using 0.10 on Dell Latitude E6320 with Ubuntu 11.04 x64. Touchpad recognised correctly and I can mange it using the "Mouse" or the "Pointing Devices" settings. A few things I noticed:
- Whenever I reboot, the touchpad is unresponsive and I have to turn it off and on again in "Pointing Devices" before it works. In fact, gpointing device settings does not seem to remember some of the settings. E.g. if I click on "Disable while any other devices are conncected", it is indeed disabled, but when I re-open "Pointing Devices", the checkbox is unchecked again and I need to check and uncheck it again before the touchpad is activated again.
- Palm detection does not seem to have an effect. No matter what I set there, I can move the mouse cursor with my palm.

Maybe these are gpointing issues and unrelated to the driver, but I
thought I let you know.

Thanks again for the great improvement!
