TouchPad not working with new kernel

[TekCop]

Hi everybody,


long time ago i compiled my kernel, and everythink was working fine.

Now i have to recompile the kernel with pptp support. To my anger i forgot to save the last config file. Now when i create kernel the touchpad is no longer active in X. Is use xorg and load the synaptics drivers on start.

This ist what dmesg says:

Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
Firmware: 5.9
Sensor: 46
new absolute packet format
Touchpad has extended capability bits
-> middle button
-> multifinger detection
-> palm detection
input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio4

But X breaks with the error :

Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) TouchPad0 no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) TouchPad0 Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "TouchPad0"
No core pointer

Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices

Is this a kernel specific problem? Maybe there is just a option to be enabled in kernel?!

Please help.

Show your xorg.confg (or XFree86).

What kind of synaptic driver have you emerged?

Do you have a button, which turns on/off touchpad?

Have you enabled "Event interface" support in your kernel?


I had some truobles with my touchpad untill i included support of event interface.

And for Synaptic device i use /dev/input/event0.

For ps/2 mouse - /dev/input/mice.

Try to chek different devices.
