http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1013647 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1013647#c18 --- Comment #18 from Martin Wilck <martin.wilck@suse.com> --- This recent mail from the Research ML is worthwhile: "More and more people here have the Dell E7470 with the ALPS DualStick Trackpoint. Unfortunatly, it is so sensitive on a normal Linux system, that it is unuseable. But: if I boot the installer, the Stick works perfect! So I tried to find out what the differnce is: in the normal system, the Stick is detected correct as ALPS DualStick, while in the installer, it is only detected as ImPS mouse. I wasn't able to find out why this is the case." And later:
Please try:
psmouse.proto=imps
On your kernel cmdline.
Thanks, that works! The stick works with the imps protocol but not with alps/2. Perhaps we could approach upstream again with this information. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
