So my Dell Vostro 3360 came out of the box with an Alps touchpad which was detected as PS/2. Through these steps, I was able to get as far as it appearing to be recognized as a touchpad. Howevver, I do not get the Touchpad tab in the Mouse/Touchpad settings. Two-finger scrolling appears to work, and the Fn-F3 does disable the touchpad, but the settings are so brutal that it is almost impossible to work with. Very difficult to scroll at all accurately. I'm hoping there's some settings which can be tweaked which will help with this.



Any ideas?



My xinput listing is as follows:



⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ GlidePoint Virtual Touchpad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]


Thanks,

Well, after fiddling around some, I was finally able to get it working. I had to reinstall Ubuntu, though.



After compiling and installing this psmouse dklm, my touchpad was detected correctly, and the Mouse/Touchpad settings has a Touchpad tab for me to tinker with all the settings.



Hopefully this will make its way into the kernel sooner rather than later.
