Movement is not constant and short taps on pad are no longer registered as a "button press" Standard issue dell inspiron 510m touchpad mouse. Mouse fuctions correctly in all previous kernel releases Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot into kernel 2.6.11-1.14 2.touchpad mouse will not fuction correctly! Additional info:
What was the last kernel version that worked? I suspect it's the well known bug in 2.6.11. See this: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/2/2/174 The fix is available in 2.6.12-rc3. Requestor, please try Rawhide (in "development/" directory) kernel 2.6.11-1.1225 or later to verify the fix.
Have tested in kernel version 2.6.11-1.20_FC3 and status remains the same. (Poor performance, taps not regisetering etc.) - What was the last kernel version that worked? Worked fine in 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and all other 2.6.10 versions i have used.
Thanks for the working version info. However, please try Rawhide kernel at this URL: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-2.6.11-1.1284_FC4.i686.rpm (install with rpm -i, do not use rpm -U)
Thanks for the help! Yes this kernel version rectifies the problem.
Thanks for testing. If we plan to rebase, this will get fixed automatically, I have to ask DaveJ about the plan for FC3. I'm going to keep the bug open until the fix is deployed one way or another.
Pete, yes we do plan to move to 2.6.12 at some point for FC3.
rawhide kernel fixes my issues - now have touchpad tap to click, no more reaching for the button (finger habits are practically hardwired). Thanks.
hello, i have a dell i8200 and my touchpad mouse has not worked correctly following kernel updates after 2.6.10-1.770. my mouse is erratic and click prone...is this bug the same as the one im dealing w/? if not should i file a new report?
my mouse was erratic (and almost completely unusable) with 11-14, got much more usable (but still jumped to left edge occaisionally) with 11-27, completely fixed with rawhide - 2.6.12-1363 IMHO, if you havent tried the rawhide, do so, and dont open a new report till you find it doesnt work. AHU (a humble user) btw, you havent said what kind of mousepad is on your dell. It might matter, and Pete shouldnt have to look high and low for that info on Dells website. Heres mine, from my sony VGN-a190. try 'dmesg'. alps.c: Enabling hardware tapping input: PS/2 Mouse on isa0060/serio1 input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint on isa0060/serio1

Kyle, please try a kernel from this URL: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/ The 1.1284 is probably gone by now...
hello, i upgraded to fc4 and the problem persist....its also noted on 153201
hello, i added psmouse.proto=exps to my grub.conf file and that fixed the problem for my alps touchpad on fc4. Kyle
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. 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.
1372 works for me, on sony vaio. input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 alps.c: Enabling hardware tapping kjournald starting.

iv been following this since i upgraded to fc4 and i am still having the same issue...as stated above in a previous comment, i had to add 'psmouse.proto=exps' in grub.conf...im running 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4. all previous kernels have given me the same problem...the touchpad is too sensative..
This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you.
