hi guys. i've been having a lot of problems with the touchpad on my
15" MBP C2D. it's actually 2 problems:
1) sometimes when i boot, the touchpad doesn't work at all. when this
occurs, the symlink /dev/input/touchpad that this udev rule is
supposed to make doesn't exist:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", DRIVERS=="appletouch",
ATTRS{interface}=="Touchpad", SYMLINK+="input/touchpad"
2) sometimes when i boot, the touchpad works, but when i try to run
syndaemon, this error occurs:
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
when either of these problems occur, i reboot one or more times, and
eventually everything works as desired.
i'm running Debian Etch (4.0), 2.6.21.1+mactel , along with the
appletouch patch from linuxpowertop.org . below is what i've specified
for my touchpad in xorg.conf :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/touchpad"
Option "Protocol" "event"
does anyone else experience either or both of these problems
intermittently? what synaptics config do you have in xorg.conf ?
thanks,
Nick
