QUICK START

Run the following commands in your shell as root:

INTRODUCTION

Some new machines, like the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 15 have a new ALPS touchpadwhich uses a protocol different from previous versions. The linux kernel (as of3.13) does not recognize them as an ALPS touchpad, and they end up beingrecognized only as a PS/2 mouse. For this reason there is no scrolling, nomiddle button emulation, no two finger recognition, etc.

The folks at the linux kernel input devices mailing list were very helpful andpointed me to the right patches, I have simply gathered them together and addeda dkms.conf file to make it easier to build. This page(https://github.com/he1per/psmouse-dkms-alpsv7) explains how you installand build the module.

Thanks specially to Tommy Will from the linux-input@vger.kernel.org mailing listand to Elaine (Qiting) who actually wrote the code :) The original patch fromElaine is found here:

DO I NEED THIS MODULE?

If you get an error like this from dmesg:

then you need this module. Your touchpad will be recognized after you install it.

If you have a Toshiba Z30-A, you need to update to kernel 3.17 and you won'tneed this patch.

Pre-requisites:

  • dkms:

  • linux headers will be installed as a dependency if you use anyof the commands above.

Manual build and install of psmouse.ko

It is better to use install.sh, but if you want to build and installmanually you can follow these instructions.

I have a Dell 17R SE with Ubuntu 13.04. The touchpad is recognized as PS/2 mouse out of the box, giving just normal touchpad behaviour, but no tap to click, no scrolling, etc.

Most answers related to that issue suggest trying an ALPS driver from dahetral.com: http://www.dahetral.com/public-download

For installing I followed the steps on this page: https://www.linuxwind.org/html/dell-touchpad-driver-for-ubuntu-13-04.html

Now my xinput looks like this:

My touchpad isn't working at all now, just the two hardware buttons for left and right mouse buttons work.

Interestingly also the tap to click functions works, but only in the address bar of nautilus, nowhere (!) else.

What can I do?I would even switch back to initial state, where at least the basic touchpad functionality worked, i I knew, how to get there.

Try sudo modprobe psmouse i was able to get my touchpad working following this guide.

It look a lot like the one you followed except for that last command. My touchpad also stopped working before i issued that last command.
