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.

That's because they're loader tunables. You set them in /boot/loader.conf. The LOADER TUNABLES section of psm(4) details it. Note that I had not a very good experience with the synaptics driver about a year ago and haven't tried since. YMMV. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Both devices refuse to supply anything after a very short period of time. What could this be? Thanks in advance.
