Touchpad is not being detected

[Jake Catayoc]

Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

Laptop Model information::
bios-version:NAPA0001.86C.0056.D.0705231401
system-manufacturer:Blue
system-product-name:M515 platform
system-version:1.0.01-35

My touchpad is not being detected in Ubuntu 9.04. I checked the kernel logs and it detects a "Macintosh mouse button emulation", which I don't think is the right device. My mouse is supposed to be a Synaptics touchpad as detected in Windows Vista.

I also had Kubuntu 7.10 and booted from live-cd, but the mouse still doesn't work and it detects the same "Macintosh mouse button emulation" device.

Following the DebuggingTouchpadDetection wiki, I'm attaching all files/logs specified in it and initially reporting it here in xfree86-driver-synaptics, although my guess is it's actually in the kernel.

Hi Jake Catayoc,
Thanks for reporting bug and help us to make ubuntu better. Your every contribution in this regard make ubuntu a better OS every day. Regarding the bug, I expect some additional information on your part, to properly triage your bug so that it can be actively worked upon by a developer.

Is the issue still remains in ubuntu 10.04

I hope you can provide us with the following output::
cat /proc/bus/input/devices >~/devices
and attach it in a separate attachment.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't have the laptop with me anymore, and as such I could
no longer provide the information needed.

Regards,
Jake
