[Bug 550625] [NEW] Alps touchpad is recognized but neither gsynaptics nor mouse preferences work

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

SRU Justification:

Impact: The end result of the commit is loss of scroll support, with no
extra functionality gained.

How addressed: By reverting the commit, the previously enabled scroll
support is reestablished through the ImPS/2 extension.

Reproduction: Run current Ubuntu kernel on affected hardware. Scroll
functionality present in previous Ubuntu releases is now missing.

Regression Potential: Since this is a revert of a one-line device id,
the regression potential is minimal. The device should fall back to
ImPS/2 protocol without issue.

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I have Ubuntu 9.10 and an Alps touchpad (E7: 73 02 64). Chase fixed the
kernel so that it was recognized  and, indeed, the touchpad shows up in
both gsynaptics and system>preferences>mouse, but when I actually try to
adjust the settings nothing changes. My goal is to disable the tap-to-
click feature or disable the touchpad when typing. Chase suggests it may
be something related to the driver and to open another bug.
