Bug#590174: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: Xserver doesn't detect Synaptics touchpad

2010-07-24 Thread Francis Russell
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 1.2.2-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

I've got a Samsung R560 laptop with a Synaptics touchpad. For some reason, the
synaptics driver no-longer detects the touchpad as a synaptic one. I usually use
/dev/psaux as my device, but switching to /dev/input/mouse* and
/dev/input/event* devices have no effect either. Unfortunately, I'm not really
sure when this broke, so I can't confirm if this coincided with some version of
the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package moving into testing.

Ignoring the fact that your xorg.conf is broken, the log looks like the
synaptics device is detected correctly.  What makes you think it isn't?

Cheers,

Sorry, I did close this bug shortly afterwards when things started
working. The xorg log showed that the synaptics drived failed to detect
the touchpad:

(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.2
Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found
(**) Option Device /dev/input/mouse1
(**) Option VertEdgeScroll true
(**) Option TapButton1 1
(**) Option TapAndDragGesture true
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(--) Synaptics Touchpad: no supported touchpad found
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device Synaptics Touchpad
(II) UnloadModule: synaptics

and then it was detected by some sort of generic support instead. It
looks like this was due to forcing the value of the Device option
whereas removing it let auto-dev chose the appropriate device.
