Comment 362 for bug 550625

Hi everyone, my problem was that the touchpad was recognized and showed up in mouse settings and gpointing devices as "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" (additionally to a PS/2 mouse I hadn't even connected), but still I wasn't able to scroll (neither edge nor 2-finger ) no matter if I switched that setting on or not. The touchpad even worked when I disabled it using gpointing-devices. Now, I tried your driver, Seth, but after reboot, I couldn't use the touchpad anymore at all. So unfortunately, I couldn't use the dump program or the x_y-values either. If you need that information, I could find it out with a live cd though.

I'm using a HP dm4-2000sg and am currently on a natty live usb to try since on the oneiric I have on my hard drive neither the mouse nor the keyboard work anymore in X11 after installing the driver. Not even after removing it and reinstalling xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg-input*.

Attached you'll find my dmesg output. Is it possible the driver isn't even written for my touchpad? I just noted a difference in the name (GlidePoint vs. DualPoint). Note that it still registers as 73 02 64 according to dmesg. Or is that because of the driver?
