Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

Installing on Toshiba Satellite A100-512, synaptic touchpad isn't set up during install (it never was with any ubuntu version I used with this laptop, btw). xorg.conf doesn't contain any pointer section using driver synaptic (only one using normal driver "mouse").

Touchpad works only as really simple mouse, can't even drag (= tapping only works as single clicking).

Does 'sudo laptop-detect && echo "Yes"' return "Yes"? If not, this is a bug in laptop-detect.

I can confirm this bug on Prestigio 156 laptop. xorg.conf doesn't contain any pointer section for Synaptics touchpad, I must add it manually. After that, it works fine.
'sudo laptop-detect && echo "Yes"' returns Yes

There's been some improvements to synaptics in gutsy. Can you test this with gutsy and see if it's working properly now?

I have done clean install of Gutsy today and touchpad was detected properly and appropriate section in xorg.conf was added automatically. The bug is fixed for me now.
