12.04 Touchpad not detected for Dreambook
Hi,
I have a Dreambook from Pioneer computers, and sadly the touchpad is not detected at all. I've looked around, but I can't work out where to start with this. Could anyone give me ideas on how to work out which drivers I need, or what else I should be doing?
Thanks!
sky.
Re: 12.04 Touchpad not detected for Dreambook
I downloaded the Windows driver for the touchpad and found
Code:
; Localizable Strings
Provider = "Sentelic"
DiskId1 = "Finger Sensing Pad Driver Installation Disk"
AVC.DeviceDesc = "Finger Sensing Pad"
AVC.DriverDisplayName = "Finger Sensing Pad Driver"
AVC.DriverDisplayVersion = "9.2.1.6"
AVC.DriverReleaseDate = "12/16/2011"
AVC.DriverCfg = " "
fspad.SvcDesc = "Finger Sensing Pad Driver for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Win7"
fspadsvr.SvcDesc = "Finger Sensing Control Service"
A Google search for "finger sensing pad linux" turned up this project who make drivers, distributed in a deb file:

I've downloaded the drivers recommended, from here. I installed them through the software centre (I think - clicked the 'intall' button and it seemed to go okay). But the touchpad still isn't working, and no touchpad option shows up in the settings under mouse and touchpad.

I followed the instructions given on Samiux's blog, and have a working touchpad. Hurrah!
