Comment 17 for bug 660887

I am having this same problem on lenovo thinkpad edge. Ubuntu 10.10 Bottom 1/4 of touchpad not responding. I did synclient -m 10 and confirmed that there is no response on this area of the touchpad. (synclient would not detect presses in this area) I found other posts about this laptop having issues. The BottomEdge parameter defaults to 4500, which corresponds roughly to where the pad goes dead. When I change this parameter to 5000 synclient still will not register touches in this area. Let me know if I can feed you more data to help you track down this issue.
