Sony Vaio VPC EE47FB Moved from Squeeze to Sid to get touchpad working

[Leonardo Ruoso]

I installed Squeeze amd64 on a Sony Vaio VPC-EE47FB and got a non working touchpad.

Before trying anything else I upgraded to sid and everything worked OOTB.

I use sid anyway (just used a squeeze dvd to install the system), but I think new laptop owners are somewhat forced to do that to get it working.

A new kernel or Xorg packages can make a difference.

Did you open a bug report? By doing so there is still a chance to get the
problem solved by an upcoming Squeeze update...
