Description 00oo00 2011-01-20 13:59:10 UTC

Greetings.
Linux seems have not identified my touchpad, the scrolling function is not working.
I checked the System-Preferences-Mouse option, no trackpad Tab founded.
I did cat '/proc/bus/input/devices' command and noted. Please help me fix this bug to make the kernel better.

I collected some info I think might be helpful to solve this problem. If need more specific info to fix this issue please let me know. 

thanks in advance.

I don't really see any info about the trackpad in your attachment. What model is your machine? What are the contents of /var/log/dmesg? Also, what is the output of evtest?

Hi, Eric. Thanks for ur reply. Here is my dmesg log. My model is Hasee F237R it`s a Chinese computer brand. The trackpad is a PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse trackpad. How to get the output of evtest? I installed the package and ran evtest /dev/input/event8. How to dump the log?

Comment 4 00oo00 2011-03-13 15:40:19 UTC

Any way I just copy and paste the log.

I have a similar problem on ASUS K53E laptop on 2.6.28, 2.6.29 and 3.0-rc2. The touchpad is recognized as "PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" (as in the attached dmesg) so multi-touch features don't work.

It works with https://launchpadlibrarian.net/71387234/01elantech_2.6.38.patch

Thanks for the patch. But how can I patch it? I`m sort of a noob.

I can confirm that this works with 2.6.39.3. Has is been committed for 3.0? I'm not sure how to tell. Not a dev.

Comment 11 nbtrap 2011-07-19 17:23:31 UTC

By the way, I too have an Asus K53E.

Comment 12 Daniele Segato 2011-07-28 14:39:08 UTC

I think I have the same issue here with a new Dell Latitude E6520
