Nice job, thanks for linking back.
Thanks I had a Lenovo B460 and this thread helped me fix this and make my trackpad working
Cheers
OMG what a pain in the .... after upgrading I lost my wireless driver and had a heck of a time working through that but at long last working wireless and a mouse that doesn't have a mind of it's own! Great work!

Since this does its work on the X in memory it is not persistent. If you log out and back in the mousepad will be active again. This is desired behavior for me as I occasionally need to be able to use the laptop without my external mouse.
What's make-kpkg? I wasn't able to locate the package.sudo apt-get install linux-source linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential libncurses5 libncurses5-dev make-kpkg fakeroot
Brutal. That's a brainfart, sorry. It's kernel-package which has make-kpkg in it. I'm surprised nobody called me out on it!

Thanks for the quick reply. I've applied the patch on Dell mini 10 running Karmic 2.6.31, and the touchpad now works as before, but when I run 'synclient AreaBottomEdge=600', the output is:
same for 'syndaemon -i 1 -d'synclient AreaBottomEdge=600
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
syndaemon -i 1 -d
Unable to find a synaptics device.
You're on a dell mini, did you force the version by manually editing the patch as in step 5.5?
In the output from
You should see lines like 'elantech: assuming hardware version...' and 'synaptics capabilities query result'.Code:grep -i elantech /var/log/messages
I have the same touchpad on my Lenovo Ideapad Z560. What worked for me was the following:
In order to make the change permanent you must add a file to /etc/modprobe.d/. The file must have .conf at the end. I named my file touchpad.conf. The file must have the following line:Code:sudo rmmod psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps
options psmouse proto=imps
Hope this helps.
