 Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2005 1:45 am Post subject: another synaptics topic |
 |
|
hello i was just reading what seems like every synaptics topic i could find in here but to no avail....
i had everything running just fine 2.6.11-r11(though sometimes after startx was called , there would
be a "no core pointer" issue but it was very rare and would be fixed by rebooting)
after an upgrade to 2.6.12 i cannot get synaptics to load so the only way for me
to get X to load is if I have my usb mouse as core pointer
in my kernel config i have
Device Drivers -> Input devices
event interface (*)
touchscreen (*)
mouse-> ps/2 (*)
i have removed legacy support after reading some posts, but it didn't help
I am using a compaq r3440ca laptop
and the exact error that i am recieving is as follows:
| Code: | (II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o
(EE) Alps Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics" |
thanks for any input/ideas/advice
i guess i shoud include Xorg.conf too

Hi,
I am uncertain as to whether this will be any help for you, but I have experienced some issues with Synaptics in kernel 2.6.12: bug #94476.
Secondly, and probably of more use, even though you are not using this kind of laptop, take a look at this page and its attached xorg configuration, specifically in the ServerLayout section, where it notes CorePointer and AlwaysCore. You may want to mimic this assignment of CorePointer and AlwaysCore.
