[Bug 565543] Re: Alps touchpad detected as ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse(in VAIO E series) after the kernel upgrade

[Brian McNicholas]

Hi,

I am having the same or similar problem. I have a Gateway NAV50 netbook
that is running 10.04 and kernel 2.6.32-24 general and it isn't
recognizing the touchpad; it is saying it is a general P/S2 wheel mouse.

⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse              	id=12	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation        	id=13	[slave  pointer  (2)]

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0000
N: Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse1 event7 
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

I am very new to linux so any help would be greatly appreciated. And
just to note, when I ran the trial of Ubuntu off of a flash drive the
scroll worked and under Mouse settings there was a tab for scrolling.
But since I have wiped Windows 7 and did a clean install of Ubuntu there
is no more touchpad tab and no scrolling.

Thanks
