The touchpad in an HP 500[1] doesn't function in 2.6.17 (nor, apparently, feisty?). The problem appears to be with the i8042 kernel driver - it doesn't find the psaux port on the ps2 controller (and thus never the touchpad). There is a crude fix and a description of the problem, as affecting several users in the thread Juan linked to above.

dmesg reports:

PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:C1A4,PNP0f13:C1A5] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12
Failed to disable AUX port, but continuing anyway... Is this a SiS?
If AUX port is really absent please use the i8042.noaux option.
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1

There doesn't appear to be an upstream fix for this (or at least according to google), and the problem is reported as affecting Fedora Core 6 here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions//showthread.php?t=523181 (similar patch available there).

Regards,

Matt

Same issue with an HP 510 Notebook. Touchpad not detected so Xorg doesn't see it.

Hi,

One way to solve this is edit drivers/input/serio/i8042.c source, line #549 (i8042_check_aux function), and add:

return 0;
