Description of problem: I dropped kernel 2.6.1-65 onto my Dell Inspiron 5150, and the tapping the trackpad to make a left mouse click is no longer working. Reverting to a 2.4 kernel makes it work again. The device, according to XF86Config is a PS/2 type. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.1-65 How reproducible: Always - boot, attempt to use the trackpad by tapping on it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. Start X 3. Tap on the trackpad Actual results: No left mouse button event. Expected results: A left mouse button event. Additional info:
Boot messages (forgot to include these, sorry) Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firmware: 5.9 Sensor: 37 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1
I suspect that this might be the same thing as bug 99351.
