Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Touchpad does not work on my Sony Vaio VPCF12M1E.

There is a kernel message about it, which says to add kernel boot argument "i8042.nopnp" to get it to work, which it actually does.

It should probably be forwarded to the kernel team anyway.
Feel free to ask for more information if required.

Hope it helps.

The exact kernel message is:
[ 1.562379] PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:PS2K] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
[ 1.562380] PNP: PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled, if this is incorrect please boot with i8042.nopnp

Hi Jerome,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I had already tried kernel 2.6.35-21.30~lucid1 from PPA here without success: http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ppa/ubuntu.
Though, I tested the one you requested me, that is to say 2.6.35-020635rc1 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/ without more success.
I have to specify the argument "i8042.nopnp" to the kernel, otherwise the touchpad does not work (and I get the same message I initially posted).

I'm going to upgrade to Maverick now.
