[Fujitsu Lifebook AH532] Alps touchpad not recognized

[riu]

The touchpad is recognized only as PS/2 Generic Mouse on Trusty Tahr (12 January 2014), out of the box. The driver provided as attachment in Bug #606238 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/606238/+attachment/3525410/+files/psmouse-alps-1.3-alt.tbz) seems to partly work if installed manually in Ubuntu 12.04.

alps love for the kernel again

[penalvch (penalvch)]

riu, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

riu, if you tested a 3.13.x mainline kernel, not the default Ubuntu kernel, it would not be considered Fix Released as outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status . Hence, is this fixed in the mainline kernel, or the default Ubuntu kernel?

[riu (stanray)]

I tested with the default Ubuntu 14.04 kernel.

[penalvch (penalvch)]
