TouchPad

I have notebook with Alps touchpad, /proc/bus/input/devices:

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=6323
N: Name="AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
H: Handlers=mouse2 ts1 event2
B: EV=f
B: KEY=420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3

I try to use synaptics driver to make usable the scrollbutton, and it work, but with new kernel scrollbuton dont work. If anyone have the same touchpad configured, please help me.

Re: TouchPad

I've been reading up, and it appears 2.6.11 hosed the ALPS driver. Random clicks and other weirdness has been happening, so I'm sticking to 2.6.10 for now...

Me too. I upgraded to kernel26-2.6.11 today and my touchpad was playing up. Tapping on the pad to "click" no longer worked, and the general smoothness was way off - very jerky.

I had also upgraded KDE 3.4 too, and so at first wondered if it was kde being weird. But thankfully, Joe's post made me realise it was the kernel (I hadn't even noticed that it was being upgraded - it was only scanning the logs that I realised!) I went back to 2.6.10 and all's good again smile

Re: TouchPad

if you want the double tapping to work in 2.6.11 all you have to do is add "psmouse.proto=exps" as a boot parameter

Re: TouchPad

I have filed a bug report about that and also on the kernel.org's bugzilla. The thing will be fixed for 2.6.12.
