Comment 365 for bug 550625

Thank you Seth! Removing the battery worked. Booting into the freshly installed Natty, the touchpad worked as before. After booting the live usb (which I installed and removed your driver before) - where the touchpad didn't work - it worked in no OS again. So I just took out the battery again, and reinstalled Natty on the usb drive. The touchpad now works again. So this is where I am now.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with your dumps or xy_values. Attached you'll find what sudo lsinput tells me.

This is all. I think the problem is related to the following three bug reports (I'm experiencing the same issue) so it might help you understanding what happens on my computer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/747092 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773165 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/782259

When do you think the next update of your driver will be available? I'm thinking about returning the HP (if this annoying scrolling issue can't be solved) for which I have about one more week of time. I'm happy to test any new releases. :)
