Comment 0 for bug 368954

I have just upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty. The touchpad for my Sony Vaio VGN-TX3XP laptop no longer works at all.

The bug 361845 may be same as this bug, but I think it's different because as far as I can tell, my kernel is not even detecting the touchpad (in that bug apparently kernel is detecting the touchpad). Because of this I opened a new bug report.

$ cd /var/lib/acpi-support/; grep '.' *-*
bios-version:R0021N3
system-manufacturer:Sony Corporation
system-product-name:VGN-TX3XP_B
system-version:J001QD5V

$ uname -a
Linux spirit 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

also same problem when using this kernel:

$ uname -a
Linux spirit 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

I have also installed the linux-restricted-modules package in the hope that it would help, but to no avail.

$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.28-11.42-generic

also this:

$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 2.6.27-9.19-generic

Please note that I'm using an external USB mouse, which works fine -- this may be shown in the messages. Under Intrepid, I was able to use both the touchpad and the external mouse together without problems, as well as the touchpad when the USB mouse was not connected.
