Laptop Model: Gateway NE72203h
Touchpad manufacturer: ALPS
Ubuntu version: 14.04
In a terminal, the command "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" shows the following:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0001 Version=0000
N: Name="PS/2 Generic Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input16
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event10
B: PROP=0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3
According to the Ubuntu documentation, (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection) this would be would be a problem with the kernel which doesn't recognize the touchpad properly.
Thank you for your attention,
PS: my apology if this bug report is sent to the wrong team, I'm fairly new to Linux in general and this is my first time filling a bug report.
