Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
About a month ago I updated Edgy as usual. There was some problem with
that update, and many users were getting "udedv[XXXX]: add to rules..."
error messages on booting up. Most of them, I think, had problems with
their printers. My problem was that the touchpad didn't work at all, and
I'm using a USB mouse since.
>From what I could gather the problem seemed to come from a libgphoto2
update. It seems the problem was fixed for most of the users with
another update later on. But it didn't fix my touchpad.
Before getting a USB mouse I booted on Windows XP, and they touchpad
didn't work either! I reinstalled the drivers and it was working again.
I came back to Ubuntu, but the touchpad was still useless. Some days ago
I booted again on Windows and it wasn't working again!
I started using a USB mouse some months ago. At first it worked ok, just
plug-and-play. But at some point something happened and I had to change
the driver specified in the "Configured mouse" section in xorg.conf from
"synaptics" to "mouse" for it to work. I've obviously tried with both
settings to no avail. qsynaptics and gsynaptics report the driver as
correctly installed and the SHM memory as available.
I don't know if this is the right package to report to or if the logs
I'm attaching are the correct ones. I need some guidance. Thanks.
