Hi drew212,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. And I don't understand why such a serious issue not respected by the Ubuntu Team.

I ran into this problem in Ubuntu 10.04 and the problem still there in Ubuntu 10.10. The problem leads to terrible touchpad performance on a laptop , for example, synclient does not work to avoid improper behaviors of touchpad during typing, and the alps multi-touch advantage disappear, etc.

I really hope the Ubuntu Development Team should stop focusing on the meaningless trifles like changing the color
of wallpapers, inventing fuzzy-headed ways of exhibiting ugly startup images, and make effort to solve the real problems that bother their customers.

I think this might be same as the open and confirmed bug 755518

I'm trying to get traction on that bug - it would be good if you could add your evidence to it, especially as you are using Asus EEE which is a more popular brand than mine (but an older model)

One difference is that you report the touchpad is detected as
ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse
by ubuntu 10.04 - I'm seeing 10.10 detect as
ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse
but perhaps that's the OS difference, not a hardware difference.

Then again, the driver downloads for windows
http://usa.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1015PED/#download
implies that this model has an ElanTech touchpad.

My problem in bug 755518 relates to a machine where the similar evidence points to a Synaptics touchpad.

In any case, we need the same kind of attention which bug 550625 is getting today, for an ALPS touchpad: for which one needs a Windows driver and a laptop, in the hands of a motivated linux driver developer.
