[Bug 554050] Re: Touchpad vertical scrolling doesn't work after upgrade to 2.6.32-19 (Sony VAIO EB1E1E, AlpsPS2/2 ALPS)

Hi Jeremy,

I got the same results as Josh, but I don't think 2.6.33 solves the problem - it is just old (from 25-Feb-2010) and doesn't recognize the touchpad same as 2.6.32-18 and older 2.6.32 kernels.
My guess is that with these kernels the touchpad is not recognized and a generic driver is loaded with which the vertical scrolling is working. But because the settings are not editable other features such as disabling tapping while typing and scrolling using multitouch gestures can't be used.

Here is the outcome of my tries:

v2.6.33 - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/
Same as 2.6.32-18 - the vertical scrolling *is* working, the touchpad is not recognized and the settings are not editable (same as shown in touchpad_2.6.32-18.png)

v2.6.34-rc6-lucid - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc6-lucid/
Same as 2.6.32-19 - the vertical scrolling *is not* working, the touchpad is recognized, the settings are editable, but don't take any effect (same as shown in touchpad_2.6.32-19.png)

v2.6.34-rc1 - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc1/
Couldn't boot with this kernel.

Regards,
Rocky
