Alps Touchpad Driver Download Linux
Its Alps touchpad is recognized as generic mouse. Vertical scrolling does work, horizontal scrolling doesn't. Since one month ago my ALPS touchpad worked with Kubuntu, I downloaded the ubuntu kernel It seems like the touchpad is still not properly detected but the driver is loaded anyways.
Same problem here with my Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG. Its Alps touchpad is recognized as generic mouse. Vertical scrolling does work, horizontal scrolling doesn't. Also, no multitouch. There are complaints all over the internet about this (or a similar) issue since several years.
Looks like nobody has found a real solution yet, though after every other kernel update they say they fixed it. Almost the same problem here, Acer Aspire One 721. Vertical scrolling doesn't work on mine at all. I'd be so happy if it did.
Gah I also have an ALPS touchpad, but it doesn't work here. Did you have to do anything else after installing the package, like tweak xorg.conf? Getting vertical scrolling to work would so make my week.
I have an Acer aspire one 721. No, xorg.conf is not involved. You need to have xorg input modules (xf86-input-synaptics I think) installed. If you have version v6-1 of my package it does not work out of the box.
You may a) reboot, b) reload psmouse (modprobe -r psmouse; modprobe psmouse) or c) install v6-2. I have a similar problem with a sony vaio SB.
My touchpad is recognized as a PS2 generic mouse and I don't have the touchpad tab in mouse settings. However, vertical scrolling works (other options do not, like horizontal scrolling, disable to type or multitouch) I tried the aur package and my touchpad was recognized as a AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (with the same xinput list as whitehorn). The problem is that I lost the vertical scrolling (I tried some tweaks with gpointing-device-settings and xorg without success). I removed the psmouse-elantech package: back to starting point!! I will follow this post if someone find a trick to enable the extras options.
Thanks to eworm to give us some hope. # xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)] Still no vertical scrolling though. Now to see if some tweaking will get it to work Same here! When disabling the PS/2 Mouse pointer, the touchpad stops working completely. It seems like the touchpad is still not properly detected but the driver is loaded anyways.
Tried multiple variants of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf with no success. In fact when I define an 'InputDevice' instead of an 'InputClass', the driver isn't loaded anymore.
Virtualbox extension pack install error 127. Gotta keep on waiting and hoping, I guess.
Look at this for the right click and other functions, also sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings and run gpointing-device-settings to configure some settings. I've also just installed Mint Mane 13 on a Sony VAIO SVE1111M1EW and after solving the right click issues the main thing I can't get working is to move the mouse pointer with one finger while the other just rests on the touchpad, ready to left click (the particular touchpad is buttonless). This function works in Windows 7. Anyone got this working? -- EDIT -- After many tests, the only way for the mouse to work while one finger rests on the touchpad is to use the exps (or imps) option on the psmouse driver module as stated on the post I quoted above, but then you lose the vertical scrolling and multitouch features even if you configure xorg.conf.
I'm having the same problem. On my netbook, HP Mini 110 on Mint 12 the touchpad worked great. Two-finger scroll, and two-finger 'right click' worked well. I never tried three-finger 'middle click.'
I couldn't figure out how to upgrade from 12 to 13, despite using the built-in update manager and running sudo apt-get upgrade. Neither worked. So I just backed up all my content and used a USB drive to fresh install a 32-bit MATE version of LM13. Everything went fine, but then I found that I didn't have the ability to right-click.
In accordance with this advice: I ran. Code: sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps After that I lost the two-finger scrolling and edged scrolling. Also, if I try to click and drag, I completely lose control of the mouse. (as in lack of movement, not to be confused with sporadic movement) Right click, after running that command, is just the right side of the touchpad and not two fingers like in 12. If anyone can give any advice that would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to continue to research, and if I find the solution I'll update my post.
