Re: [gentoo-user] Trouble with xorg-server-1.5.2, hal and synaptics on a Samsung NC10
2009/3/6 Dragos Petre drpet...@gmail.com: Hi, everybody! I have recently upgraded to x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.2 and since then I've started having problems with my touchpad although IMO I have followed the correct steps to migrate to hal-based hotplugging. My computer is a Samsung NC10 netbook with a Synaptics Touchpad. I have basic mouse functionality, i.e. cursor move and button click, but no tapping, edge scrolling etc although according to hal-device the correct options are loaded - please see below I cannot use synclient as I get a Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled? error. One give-away of what the issue may be is that Xorg.0.log shows the synaptics device to be configured as mouse. Does that make any sense? I'm using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r9, sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8 and x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-0.15.2-r2 although I have tried x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.0.0 to no avail. You can find below the output/content of hal-device xorg.conf Xorg.0.log emerge --info And what about your x11-input.fdi? I guess you don't have one! Take a look here [1] for a documented example. If you want xorg-server and hal working you need: xorg-server built with hal use flag and evdev as input-device. comment out the input sections in xorg.conf. a fdi file placed at /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi (basically the configuration done in xorg.conf prior is now done in this file) [1] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/config/x11-input.fdi -- Regards, Daniel

In 10 you are specifing mouse as driver for your touchpad so the touchpad uses this driver and the 11 file can not overwrite that as the device already has a driver configured. So you can either try to remove that input.touchpad section from 10-x11-input.fdi or replace it by the contents of 11-x11-synaptics.fdi. -- Regards, Daniel

Re: [gentoo-user] Trouble with xorg-server-1.5.2, hal and synaptics on a Samsung NC10
I would suggest you to go with 1.5.3. It is much better then 1.5.2. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The relevant lines in Xorg.0.log are still (II) config/hal: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: always reports core events (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Device: /dev/input/event4 (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Found x and y absolute axes (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Found absolute touchpad (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Found mouse buttons (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Configuring as mouse (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (type: MOUSE) Justin, I'll give 1.5.3 a go this evening and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion! Dragos.
