I've dual-booted with 10.04 and 10.10alpha2.


Even before apt-get update/upgrade, I was able to get touchpad and 2-finger scroll to work.

First be certain to add the boot option: i8042.nopnp
(However, adding that to /etc/default/grub interferes with 'apt-get upgrade', so re-apply manually.)


Copy the xinput1.desktop and xinput2.desktop files from the code repository.  I'll double-check my instructions, as there's likely a typo in there since it didn't work for you.  Using the same files as-is worked following a reboot of 10.10.  (Also, test that the 'xinput' commands work: extract just those lines from the *.desktop files from 'Exec=' field, and run from command-line.  That should work, albeit less than ideal.)

Touchpad gestures still don't get recognized following resume from hibernate or from suspend, even on 10.04... work-in-progress

Audio OUT worked "out of the box" with 10.10 but still incomplete internal mic functionality.  Attempts at compiling a snapshot of ALSA downloaded a few days ago failed, so I'll try another snapshot.


(I've run into other issues, such as Radeon lock-up after 'apt-get upgrade', but this is merely an alpha release!)
