This is also broken on the Dell Inspiron 1420, i.e. the touchpad pad is missing here also. In Hardy the 1420 autoconfigured /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a Synaptics Touchpad section. This is not the case in Intrepid.

`xinput list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad"` results in:

    unable to find device SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad

This is to be expected, as `xinput list` identifies the touchpad as "AlpsPS/2 ALPS Glidepoint"

`dpkg -l | grep gnome-control-center` results in:

   ii gnome-control-center 1:2.24.0.1-0ubuntu2

So it looks like the Glidepoint is not being mapped to the Synaptics Touchpad as was the past behavior.

Attaching lshal.log, if there are other requests related to this comment, they will be addressed swiftly.

Thanks,

Harvey
