I have a question for you linux guys out there, i have posted this on the IRC channel and on the launchpad website with no luck..



This issue is in all Ubuntu\debian distributions 'but' Ubuntu based 11.10 however in Ubuntu 11.10 I'm having a display issue so i cant use that distribution either... Link to the display issue: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu...uestion/178731

In Ubuntu 10.04 if i do an xinput --list my touchpad displays as a "Macintosh mouse button emulator"


I have tried adding i8024.reset and i8024.nomux=1 to the quiet splash in grub but it didn't fix the issue

If i do a 'modrpobe --list | grep input' i get the following related to the mouse
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/appletouch.ko
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/bcm5974.ko
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/gpio_mouse.ko
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/sermouse.ko
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_i2c.ko
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/vsxxxaa.ko


So my guess is that kernel/drivers/input/mouse/appletouch.ko is the issue but if i do a 'modprobe -r appletouch' it doesn't remove the module...


So, can anyone on here give me some ideas? I'm open to suggestions
