 |
|
Hi, im having issues setting up the synaptics touchpad. I run the latest kernel and the latest version of X.
I installed the driver to the right directory AND updated xorg file appropriately. However im still getting errors!
running startx gives me:
SynapticsMouse no synaptics event device found (checked 14 nodes)
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) SynapticsMouse no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) SynapticsMouse Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "SynapticsMouse"
in my log file it says:
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.2
SynapticsMouse no synaptics event device found (checked 14 nodes)
*lists my options*
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) SynapticsMouse no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) SynapticsMouse Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "SynapticsMouse"
In the /proc/bus/input/devices file it lists it as a generic PS2 mouse
but the handlers line has mouse0 event0 and ts0
any ideas?
thanks |

That means that kernel did not recognize your touchpad as Synaptics one. Are you positive you have a Synaptics touchpad?

My xorg.conf-sction looks like this :
| Code: | # Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "LeftEdge" "1900"
Option "RightEdge" "5400"
Option "BottomEdge" "1800"
Option "TopEdge" "3900"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "100"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
|
Then you need to enable Device-Drivers --> Input-devices --> event-interface in your kernel.
You also can try
| Code: | Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" |
but then you need Device-Drivers --> Input-Devices --> Provide legacy /dev/psaux device enabled. |

yes |
Is it identified as such in Windows or you had a kernel that reported it as Synaptics? What kind of notebook do you have?

You can install your ps/2 driver as a module
Device-drivers-->Input-Devices--> <M> ps/2 mouse
and put the module psmouse at the end of your /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6.
That should fix it. |

I am having the exact same problem and it is only the case under Gentoo. Under any other destribution, this problem does not exist. The driver is accepted and works just fine, which leads me to believe that there is some unreferenced kernel dependancy somewhere that is not included when one uses genkernel.
I would very much appreciate getting this resolved, as the single thing that I hate most about having a laptop is the damned manufacturers who assume that I absoultely would love to have Hardware Tapping set as the default option in their comms system rather than having it enabled by a driver. |

This is a bit of a bump of sorts as this issue has yet to be resolved...
Any ideas on how to resolve this situation? |

| You have to enable "Event interface" in your kernel config, it's under Device drivers, somewhere. Then load the evdev module. Configure xorg to look for the touchpad in /dev/input/event0. If event0 doesn't work, do cat eventx, where x is the number, and try to use the touchpad. You'll see a lot of rubbish on the screen when you get the right one. Also, disable /dev/psaux legacy support in the kernel. That should do it, I did the same thing on my HP notebook and it worked fine. |
