I just installed Ubuntu "Warty Warthog" on my new HP Pavilion zv5320. After installing the nVidia drivers and ndiswrapper for my internal WiFi everything seems to be working fine except for the touchpad.
When I start X I can seem the pointer, but it doesn't respond to being touched or tapped. If I turn the touchpad's power off and then back on it pauses for a moment and then begins to work.
I commented out the Synaptics stuff in my XF86Config-4 hoping that it my touchpad would work in PS/2 compatibility mode, but I still get the same behavior. I thought this would work since older versions of Knoppix seem to detect is as a PS/2 mouse and they work fine.
Anyone have some experience or advice on this?
Thanks in advance
Here's a copy of my XF86Config-4:
