Bug#434722: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: same problem on 2.6.26-1-686 and 2.6.29-1-686
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-13lenny2
Severity: normal
I have the same problem. 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
