Hello there.

I am using a HP Pavilion zv5410us notebook with an ALPS touchpad, and having problems with the synaptics driver.

Code:
Luna ~ # cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=402000000 3802078f840d001 f2ffffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=7

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=0000
N: Name="PS/2 Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input1
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=7321
N: Name="AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=mouse1 event2
B: EV=f
B: KEY=420 70000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3
B: ABS=1000003

Luna ~ # ls /dev/input/event2 /dev/input/mouse1
ls: /dev/input/event2: No such file or directory
ls: /dev/input/mouse1: No such file or directory

Luna ~ # ls /dev/input
event3  js0  js1  js2  js3  mice  mouse2  mouse3

Luna ~ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i synap
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o
(II) Module synaptics: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Reloading /usr/lib64/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.4 (1404)
Mouse0 no synaptics event device found (checked 11 nodes)
Synaptics driver unable to open device
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"


So, I have the input interface built into the kernel, and I have synaptics emerged, and the touchpad is listed under /proc/bus/input/devices, but the /dev/input/ events seem to be missing for the touchpad. Any ideas?

Hello!

After talking to people in #gentoo-laptop, I got it fixed by upgrading to (the ~amd64) udev-080-r1 and defining a new rule.

Code:
KERNEL=="event*",     NAME="input/%k", MODE="0600"
