Touchpad not recognized - Gericom Phantom XXL 3180

[cheffe76]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

The touchpad is not recognized properly, hence it is not working at all.

From my research I found out that Gericom usually uses Synaptics touchpads. As I dont have access to a data sheet of the Gericom Phantom XXL 3180, I am not sure weather this notebook has built in a touchpad from a different manufacturer or not.

Hi cheffe76,

Thanks for reporting the bug and making ubuntu a better place. I wish you can provide us with the following output as well for triaging.

cat /proc/bus/input/devices >devices

Not a wishlist, use of touchpad is the most basic right of every ubuntu user.

hi,
I switched from kubuntu over to ubuntu and now it works fine. I my view the thread can be closed.

thanks for your support

ok, I will be marking the bug as invalid, in case you find yourself in kubuntu again do open this bug again by resetting the status of the bug from invalid to new again..

Since the bug reporter is not available for providing further information.. He's shifted to another ubuntu distribution
