You need to use an event node to use the synaptics driver: My original response to Grant: """ I believe if you want to use the synaptics driver, you should be using an "event" interface. From my xorg.conf: Identifier "touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/trackpad_evt" Option "Protocol" "event" I use a special device node because my trackpad and keyboard would sometimes move around on the generic event nodes. So I have a udev rule in 10-local.rules for this: BUS=="input", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{phys}=="isa0060/serio1/input0", NAME:="input/trackpad_evt", SYMLINK="input/%k" You can use dmesg to figure out the right setting for SYFS{phys}, or just use /dev/input/eventX in your xorg.conf. Of course you'll need to have CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV in your kernel configuration to get the event interfaces. """ -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
