[Hardy] touchpad not recognised - Fujitsu-Siemens laptop

Thank you for your report. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. Please attach the output of lspci -vvnn; dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log to the bug report as separate attachments.

Thank you,

Iulian

Thanks for the information. I will change the status to: Confirmed

I tried to configure the touchpad by adding the following lines to xorg.conf:
-----------------------------
Section "Module"
    Load "synaptics"
EndSection
#...
4 Section "InputDevice"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Identifier "TouchPad"
    Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
    Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
#...
Section "ServerLayout"
    InputDevice "TouchPad" "CorePointer"
EndSection
--------------------------------

But got some screen errors. Attaching the xorg log file

Can you also add the output of the following commands:
$ cd /var/lib/acpi-support/; grep '.' *-* > ~/laptop
$ uname -a > ~/uname-a
$ cat /proc/version_signature > ~/version_signature
$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/devices
Attach ~/laptop, ~/uname-a, ~/version_signature and ~devices to the bug report in seperate attachments.

I also have this problem here.

I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and my touchpad stopped working completely (it was working perfectly in Gutsy). I have to:
sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse

to make it work in the same level described in this bug report (no advanced features and jerky behaviour).

My laptop is a Gateway 5570Z (model 5570-2607), and touchpad is detected as (in /proc/bus/input/devices):

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=12b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input12
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse3 event11
B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 7000f 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003

I reported it on my blog: http://lkraider.eipper.com.br/blog/2008/04/dist-upgrade-hardy.html#touchpad

There is indeed no bug in kernel, as against so many normal case. This seems to a different case though. Please include the output of ..

1.synclient -m 100 >~/synclient.txt
2.xinput -list --long >~/xinput.txt

Both in seperate comments..
