Hello, I have a new Sony Vaio VPCEB1Z1E with an AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint touchpad. Moving the mouse and tapping works, but no scrolling. II) config/hal: Adding input device AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.0 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event7" (**) Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" (**) Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true" (**) Option "TapButton1" "1" (**) Option "TapButton2" "2" (**) Option "TapButton3" "3" (**) Option "CoastingSpeed" "20" (--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: no supported touchpad found (EE) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.

What else do you need? Thank you! Tobi
please attach your full Xorg.log and the output of evtest against the device file.
Created attachment 35448 [details] Xorg.0.log
Created attachment 35449 [details] Evtest Output I was touching the touchpad from left up to right up, and left up to left down. So there should be the whole touchpad covered.
from the log: (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.0 (--) Touchpad auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event7 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event7" (--) Touchpad: x-axis range 0 - 1023 (--) Touchpad: y-axis range 0 - 767 (--) Touchpad: pressure range 0 - 127 (--) Touchpad: finger width range 0 - 0 (--) Touchpad: buttons: left right middle (**) Option "SHMConfig" "on" (--) Touchpad: touchpad found (**) Option "CorePointer" "False" this looks pretty good to me, seems to get added. Now, there's an issue with current Alps pads that they're not supported by the kernel properly yet (there's some new "magic knock" that's not determined yet). Hence they look like a ps/2 mouse (like in your log) and some features like tapping and scrolling are even implemented in hardware. So if you see the touchpad events still coming out of the PS/2 mouse file, then that is the same issue.
I have found this: $evtest /dev/input/event7 Input driver version is 1.0.0 Input device ID: bus 0x11 vendor 0x2 product 0x8 version 0x7326 Input device name: "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" Supported events: Event type 0 (Sync) Event type 1 (Key) Event code 272 (LeftBtn) Event code 273 (RightBtn) Event code 274 (MiddleBtn) Event code 325 (ToolFinger) Event code 330 (Touch) Event type 3 (Absolute) Event code 0 (X) Value 0 Min 0 Max 1023 Event code 1 (Y) Value 0 Min 0 Max 767 Event code 24 (Pressure) Value 0 Min 0 Max 127 Testing ... (interrupt to exit) But no matter what I do with the touchpad, I get no output. So, all I could do is wait? Or can I provide some more logs? Thank you Tobias Kaminsky
have a look at this thread. I was just playing with a laptop yesterday that had an Alps in it that suffered from this problem as well. This is a kernel problem that needs to be fixed first, sorry. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg07729.html
