If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. I have updated to FC4 and downloaded the latest kernel 1398. The touchpad works fine now.(In reply to comment #1) You're great !!

I had this problem with an alps touchpad on a toshiba laptop. It wouldn't work at all. I posted about this on fedoraforums. The workaround for me was to download a new kernel source and compile with ps2 support as a module (not builtin). Because the alps module needs to load before ps2 for it work for some reason. If you can please change ps2 to be a module in the kernel I think it would solve our problems. Or else maybe you can change the alps driver so it doesn't need to load first. By the way the only reason I came back here after I found the solution is that yum update is telling me about a new kernel 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 which is probably still broken. If you want me to test a kernel on my laptop let me know. Mass update to all FC4 bugs: An update has been released (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) which rebases to a new upstream kernel (2.6.13.2). As there were ~3500 changes upstream between this and the previous kernel, it's possible your bug has been fixed already. Please retest with this update, and update this bug if necessary. Thanks. 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you. This bug has been mass-closed along with other bugs that have been in NEEDINFO state for several months. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, this is the only method we have of cleaning out stale bug reports where the reporter has disappeared. If you can reproduce this bug after installing all the current updates, please reopen this bug. If you are not the reporter, you can add a comment requesting it be reopened, and someone will get to it asap. Thank you. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: When I installed FC3 the ALPS touchpad on my laptop wasn't recognized, so didn't work. I tried without any success to install the driver for synaptics and its patch for ALPS touchpads. By a simple moment of luck I unplugged my Logitec USB Receiver for the cordless mouse I used instead. I did this exactly in the beginning of the boot process of fedora when it says "....initialized.". Just before the boot process goes to the next step I unplugged and what a wonder, my ALPS touchpad worked fine for the whole session. I recognized that the hwconf file contained the following : class: MOUSE bus: PSAUX detached: 0 device: input/mice driver: generic3ps/2 desc: "PS/2 Generic Mouse" It would be great if you could make the touchpad be recognized the same way. By the way I am on a freshly installed system without any changes from my hand, updated via internet (today : 9 dec. 2004), kernel 2.6.9-1.681FC3smp Thanks for your help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.plugin the Logitec USB Receiver for wireless mice 2.boot 3.just avec the beginning when it says "...initialized." unplug just before the next step (you have to be precise) Actual Results: the ALPS touchpad worked without any special installations Expected Results: the ALPS touchpad shouldn't work at all just like all the time Additional info:
