           Summary: laptop touchpad doesn't work as expected without evdev
                    being loaded
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel-package
        AssignedTo: ben.collins at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: cpinto at yimports.com
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


After an upgrade to the 2.6.15 kernel the laptop's touchpad stopped behaving as
configured in xorg.conf. 

Someone in the laptop-testing-team mailing list pointed to the solution that is
loading the evdev kernel module during startup by adding evdev to the
/etc/modules file.

This fixed the problem but evdev should be loaded automatically, maybe by
including that module in the /etc/modules file in the package.
