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.
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

Just tried it - commented out altogether the synaptics section in the 10-x11-input.fdi section but I get exactly the same result. Anybody other ideas? Best Regards, Dragos.

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

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
