Yep, it does. When you posted the second reply mentioning xinput I did xinput --help and there it was the --list command.

Re: [PD] Synaptics touchpad input not working
The problems I now have are that my version of xinput is 1.3.0 (Ubuntu Hardy) and I don't have the --set-prop option. Since the GrabEventDevice option in xorg.conf messes up my xserver, I tried removing the synaptics driver completely and I can now get the data in via [hid] and [linuxevent]. The problem is that I no longer have two-fingered scrolling and can't disable the touchpad tap without a driver. I tried to install the Alps driver but had an error as reported here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1277553#3 any help appreciated James Quoth Pedro Lopes, on 20/06/10 11:08: Yep, it does.

Re: [PD] Synaptics touchpad input not working
hi james, the synaptics driver generally steals the focus of the device so that userspace programs can't directly access it, see if the Xorg option 'Option GrabEventDevice false' helps, see 'man synaptics' for more info. cheers, dmotd James Dunn wrote: I've tried using [hid] and [linuxmouse] and both objects can open the device but no data is output from either object.
