Comment 235 for bug 308191

I have this issue in 12.04 with an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop and SynPS/2 Synaptics touchpad. Judging by the posts above, the synaptics-dkms fix is specific to 10.10. Is that correct? If I try to install it, I get the error described in comments 130, 134, 152, 204, 205, ... I suspect we were all trying to use a fix that isn't compatible with the distro we are using. Is there any solution available for newer releases? It looks like two others have the same problem in 12.04 here:
