Bug#475852: confirmed for 2.6.26 and 2.6.29
I have the same problem as David. I confirm bug in kernels 2.6.26 and
2.6.29. I'm using an ALPS Touchpad in my Toshiba Satellite Pro M10.
"Advanced features" in X like vertical/horizontal scrolling don't work
because kernel doesn't recognize the mouse as a touchpad but as a "PS/2
Generic Mouse". I've looked in launchpad/google/debian bugtrack systems
and this problem affects a lot of distros/hardware. All points it's a
problem with the input subsystem. I've seen reports of people that say
adding i8042.nomux=1 on boot fixes it for them. It doesn't for me. It's
not a hardware error (at least in my case) because touchpad works
flawless in windows. It does look like a regression because this
touchpad usd to work for me on a debian of 4 years ago (sorry i dont
remember kernel version because i did a fresh install on this long
forgotten laptop).
Sorry for my sucky english and worse presentation skills, tell me if
you need any more information attached.
Thanks in advance,
~ Pablo
