Comment 4 for bug 506442

JFo

i tried apport-collect -p linux 506442 and answered several questions. At the end the tool exited with an error message: "The problem cannot be reported: It is not a Ubuntu package". So I'm not able to provide the requested data at the moment.

The Kernel I used in Karmic was 2.6.31-16-generic #53 Ubuntu.

I used acpi_listen to see what happens when pressing fn + f8. The event is the same in karmic and lucid:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001008

The next I did is that I have compared the relevant acpi related files in /etc/acpi/ for this hotkey:
/etc/acpi/events/lenovo-touchpad
/etc/acpi/thinkpad-stretchortouchpad.sh
and /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad

All three files are the same in lucid and karmic.

I checked the scripts itself and found the following differences:
In Karmic I get the number for the correct Synaptics input device using this command line from
asus-touchpad:
xinput list 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' | sed -n -e's/.*id=\([0-9]\+\).*/\1/p'

Instead in Lucid I only get
"unable to find device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"

In Xorg.0.log I found
...
"SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" : touchpad found
