The problem was that I had hit Fn-F7 (deactivate touchpad). The really vicious thing was that every time I opened the psm0 device, it supplied 80-150 bytes before performing the deactivation.

Moused crashes with Synaptics
Hi, an Acer notebook with a Synaptics Touchpad makes some trouble here. My primary problem is: I restart the mouse daemon and then I can move the mouse only for a short distance; suddenly the mouse freezes. To analyze the problem I do the following: # /etc/rc.d/moused restart # dd if=/dev/sysmouse bs=4 | xxd -c 4 000: 87fb 05fb 004: 0687 f709 008: 8787 f207 00c: 87e1 09e1 010: 0a87 f600 014: f600 87e2 018: f8e3 f987 01c: f7fa f8fb 020: 87f3 f7f4 024: f887 f3f5 028: f3f6 87f4 02c: f3f4 f487 030: f7f4 f8f5 034: 87fa f5fb 038: f587 fcf5 03c: fdf6 87ff 040: f6ff f787 044: 01f6 02f6 048: 87 . 18+1 records in 18+1 records out 73 bytes transferred in 21.774484 secs (3 bytes/sec) # You see: dd stops without reporting an error. Obviously the moused doesn't work properly any more. Further I seem to have missed something else. I found the page http://wiki.freebsd.org/SynapticsTouchpad where are mentioned some sysctls: hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 hw.psm.synaptics.vscroll_hor_area=1300 I don't have those ctls here and I cannot find the kernel driver that provides them. Does anybody have some advice for me? Thanks in advance.

Obviously the moused doesn't work properly any more. In the meantime I learned that there is /dev/bpsm0 and I wrote a litte Ruby script that reads /dev/psm0. Both devices refuse to supply anything after a very short period of time. What could this be? Thanks in advance.

Hello, anybody there? Could at least someone point me to a documentation how to debug the psm kernel device?

Note that I had not a very good experience with the synaptics driver about a year ago and haven't tried since.
