zypper dup an hour ago has left me w/o a touchpad. inserting a usb mouse is recognized.

kernel was updated to 3.1.0-1.2.1.x86_64 but rebooting to failsave or previous version, 3.1.0.-1.1.2, makes no difference

updated packages (sorted): http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/update.pkg.lst.txt

note: test box only

update: did another zypper dup and see another 59 package updates and 11 downgrades of packages updated an hour ago.

will advise result shortly.....

second set of updates make no difference, still no touchpad (or buttons). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Does the touchpad works a PS2 mouse, ie. pointing & clicking with hardware buttons?

no the buttons do not work. "yast mouse" shows "no mouse" intil I plug-in a usb mouse.

Please file a bugreport (component kernel). Attach the output of "dmesg" and, if possible (maybe with an older Live CD) the output of "dmesg" with a still working kernel. Mention the bug # here.

I am reasonably certain I have a hardware failure and have removed the bug report.

Yeah it was weird that lsusb was not listing the device at all.

The touchpad is not an USB device, it got detected on both boots (see the dmesg diff I attached to the bug), so lsusb would seem irrelevant in this case. Patrick, maybe trying with "i8042.reset=1" and "i8042.nomux=1" (boot parameters for the kernel) might help, just for the case it is not the hardware (which still seems to be correctly recognized by the kenel...)

Thanks for all the help. update: stupid pbkac error! touchpad was disabled via <function-key><f7> keyboard/laptop functions that I have not every used and have no idea how it was enabled/????. On a lark I just tried it and it worked and I feel embarassed. again, thanks everyone for the assistance and a virtual "Dos XX" on me. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Glad it works for you now, and even more happy that we did not introduce a touchpad regression with the elantech et al fixes.

Just wait until ALPS updates roll :P -- İsmail Dönmez - openSUSE Booster SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Oh yes. We might get Patrick with those - after all he has an ALPS touchpad ;-)

I will be available and willing provided I still have the laptop. It was a "move info to another windoz machine, I don't want this pos any more"/ freebie. Has an intermittend screen lose, probably a broken video cable. Replaced the 4400mah battery with a 5200mah for us$20 and it now has some usable life. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
