12.04 Touchpad not detected for Dreambook

**alexmoon** · October 5th, 2012

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!

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.
