Comment 11 for bug 377741

Hi dadrivr,

There are still a few things you can do to help us debug this issue.

1) Did this device ever work? perhaps with an older version of Ubuntu, or an older kernel? If so, please describe.
2) Please try a mainline kernel and let us know how it goes. Please try the 2.6.30 mainline kernel. How to do this is explained here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds.

If the mainline kernel works, let us know, of course.

If it does not work, could you please boot into the kernel with the options "i8042.debug=1" attached to the end.

Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst. It should look somwhat like this afterwards:
title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid dcc2f6bc-6e72-48f6-912d-6032287e7eb1
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=dcc2f6bc-6e72-48f6-912 i8042.debug=1
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet

Thanks for your report.
