Sign up ×  I can't make work the multitouch of the ALPS touchpad
in my Dell Inspiron I15RN-3647BK with Ubuntu 11.10 x64, kernel
3.0.0-17-generic... I have tried with this driver but it doesn't
work This is the result from the following command:
user@laptop:~$ xinput list ⎜   ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse
id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]     ↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_HD
id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]     ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys   That came
with or without the alps driver from canonical repository and
the touchpad just works like a PS2 generic mouse...  Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...  share|improve this question  2 Answers 2
Just didn't want to take credits for solving that problem. I did
everything it said in that blog. Here's what I did in the
terminal:  1. wget -O psmouse.tgz 2. tar -xvf psmouse.tgz 3. cd
usr/src/psmouse-alps-dst-0.4/src/ 4. wget -O alps.c 5. cd ../..
6. sudo mv psmouse-alps-dst-0.4 /usr/src/ 7. cd
/usr/src/psmouse-alps-dst-0.4/ 8. sudo dkms add psmouse/alps-
dst-0.4 9
