[Bug 550625] [NEW] Alps touchpad is recognized but neither gsynaptics nor mouse preferences work

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I have Ubuntu 9.10 and an Alps touchpad (E7: 73 02 64). Chase fixed the
kernel so that it was recognized  and, indeed, the touchpad shows up in
both gsynaptics and system>preferences>mouse, but when I actually try to
adjust the settings nothing changes. My goal is to disable the tap-to-
click feature or disable the touchpad when typing. Chase suggests it may
be something related to the driver and to open another bug.
