Comment 8 for bug 878010

I would firstly like to thank you for all the assistance you are giving
me. I tried to install the packages you listed but in each case it says
that the packages are already installed and most recent (see below for
details)

1.:
filename: /lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/hdaps.ko
license: GPL v2
description: IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System (HDAPS) driver
author: Robert Love
srcversion: 6D40BA5C430D561BA82F64E
depends: input-polldev
vermagic: 3.0.0-12-generic SMP mod_unload modversions
parm: invert:invert data along each axis. 1 invert x-axis, 2
invert y-axis, 3 invert both axes. (int)

2.:
FATAL: Error inserting hdaps
(/lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/hdaps.ko): No
such device

3.:
[ 29.470370] hdaps: supported laptop not found!
[ 29.470375] hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!
[12877.808581] hdaps: supported laptop not found!
[12877.808585] hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!
[15560.206898] hdaps: supported laptop not found!
[15560.206905] hdaps: driver init failed (ret=-19)!

Hmmm, that's almost the same...? I keep noticing x86 in the path. Do you
think that the fact that I am running amd64 has anything to do with the
issue?

thank you again for your help on this issue.
