    i tried that too

    Code:
    abdo@ABDO:/usr/src/psmouse-alps-1.3$ sudo bash ./alps.sh dkms_build_alps
Must run dkms_install_cp or dkms_install_symlink before this

completely from the DKMS tree.

Done.

    Re: TouchPad tab gone after update (ubuntu 12.04)

    Solved finaly ....


    Finally got it working! Its beautiful I want to cry

    The 2nd Gen Series 9 13" X3C uses the Elantech Touchpad which has always been incorrectly reconized as a PS/2 Mouse, after a lot of reading I have finally managed to fix by doing the following:

    1. Plug in a USB mouse.

    2. Remove any /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf, /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe stuff you might have done.

    3. Install the driver:

    Code:
    cd /usr/src/
    sudo wget http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech...ech-v6.tar.bz2
    sudo tar jxvf psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2
    sudo dkms add -m psmouse -v elantech-v6
    sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v elantech-v6
    sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v elantech-v6
    4. Reboot, move your trackpad around till it the cursor moves.

    5. Check your input list:
    Code:
    xinput list
