[Bug 315882] Re: [Jaunty] synaptics driver needs to be updated to work with devices known as "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" and "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" starting with 2.6.28 series kernels

 

To be more acurate, on my U100 the mouse was unusable after a few
seconds, cursor moved but click has no effect. Removing the psmouse
module at startup solved this issue.

So I put only the following command (and not the other one which reloads the unwished module) in /etc/rc.local :
/sbin/modprobe -r psmouse

The built-in trackpad and buttons doesn't work anymore but the external
USB mouse is working fine.

This is the only fix that worked for me (and it worked in both
distribution 9.04 and 9.10)

This should probably be reported as a different bug, but I feel a little
lazy after a couple of hours working on it.
