Hey im installing Ubuntu, from within windows, for a friend who would like to try it (10.04). However, while his touchpad pointer/click is working great 1. his touchpad scroll is not working. 2.the "touchpad" tab under system>mouse>touchpad is missing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, my touchpad works just fine when on login screen, but buttons and touchpad are completely unusable. Here's the kicker: the touchpad is NOT DISABLED. This occurred first after I locked the laptop and closed the lid while on battery power.

Touchpad: No Clicks 26 weeks 4 hours ago

I have just installed Beefy Miracle XFCE_32 bit on my new ASUS 1015CX... Most of the things are working okay, except the CLICK and SCROLL function doesn't work from the touchpad.

I have purchased one Vostro 3360 that appears to be supported by Ubuntu.

I have problems with Ethernet (I solved with alx drivers) and touchpad Alps (scroll not working) after install Ubuntu 12.04.(Same with Debian Testing and Ubuntu 12.10 beta 1)

I can't select touchpad options in Gnome and Touchpad appears as PS/2 Mouse with xinput --list.

I found information in several bug reports but nothi

The option to disable the touchpad while typing does not work on my Samsung RC512 with an Elantech touchpad and I enjoy two-finger scroll and middle-click emulation with two fingers too much to disable tapping the touchpad. When I type the cursor will jump around because I'll hit the touchpad with my palm. How can I disable one-finger tapping but keep multi-finger tapping?

[kubuntu] touchpad problem 1 year 30 weeks ago

hello,

I just installed Kubuntu 11.10, but i get a warning that my touchpad is not found.

Any suggestions how to solve?

Edit: I have a Dell Inspiron 5110 laptop. The touchpad is a synaptics touchpad.

Hi all, I have a new System76 Gazelle running Ubuntu 12.10. Accidental input on the touchpad is out of control and has become a serious issue. The usual clicking in a different spot while typing problem occurs.

I have a new (last Friday) install of Fedora 17 on a Samsung R60plus laptop. I'm using the KDE spin.

Initially, the keyboard works fine (not sure about the function keys as I haven't checked all of them but mostly works, at least). The touchpad mostly works. I can't get it configured as I wish but it is possible that this is a hardware limitation.
