Comment 33 for bug 565543

I too have a VAIO E series laptop.

 xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]

    ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB 2.0 Camera id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]

/proc/bus/input/devices has:

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0000
N: Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio2/input0

U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse2 event7

I'm on Lucid amd64 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Hope this gets fixed soon. This laptop is 3-4 months old and this problem is still bugging me :)

Sound used to be a problem too, but manually compiling latest alsa 1.0.23 fixed it.
