Hi. Recently I got tired of my touchpad being too sensitive, and I decided to try the synaptics-how-to on the gentoo-wiki. However, when starting X I get:
[---] (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.1.0.log", Time: Thu Mar 6 13:09:00 2008 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" (II) Module already built-in (EE) NVIDIA(1): Unable to find available Display Devices for screen 1. TouchPad no synaptics event device found (checked 17 nodes) Query no Synaptics: 6003C8 (EE) TouchPad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware. (EE) PreInit failed for input device "TouchPad" [---] (And the touchpad gets turned off.) The "no synaptics touchpad detected"-part gave me a hint to take a look at /proc/bus/input/devices, and what I find is... strange: [---] I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0063 N: Name="ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input4 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event4 B: EV=7 B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=103 [---] I don't know much about this, but that does not seem to be a touchpad (I'm very sure it's not my (usb) mouse). For some time I lost hope of ever getting it to work. But then I accidentally boot a ubuntu Live, and then my touchpad worked without any problem. I compared the xorg.conf's (mine and ubuntu-live) and they are the same. So what I suggest could be the problem is that I got my kernel wrong, since it seem to emulate Logitech instead of synaptics. But I don't know if that is the problem, or how I fix it. (I have all the kernel options that the gentoo-wiki synaptics-how-to recommends.) Thanks for any suggestions! -- ------------------------------------------------ For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
