Subject: [gentoo-dev] xfree, synaptics, and kernel 2.6.x
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2003 19:41:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F95C443.1000203@ineoconcepts.com> (raw)
It seems that kernel versions >= 2.6.0-test6 and the xfree synaptics
touchpad driver <= 0.11.6 (or maybe even 0.11.7) are incompatible.
According to the Synaptics driver site
(http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad) this is known. The
x11-misc/synaptics-0.11.8 ebuild is masked with the comment "until xfree
stops installing the same files" which is understandable.
The question is now is this something that someone is working on (as the
xfree ebuild is what adds the synaptics driver "by hand" and not using a
dependency on the ebuild) or can I go ahead and do this without
duplicating effort? I'd like to test the later test distros of the
kernel, but not being able to run X is kind of annoying (not that it's
anyone's fault).
TIA.
