 Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2005 5:29 am Post subject: [resolved] Touchpad worked in 2005.0 but not in 2005.1 |
 |
|
Computer -- Toshiba Satellite A75-S209
Processor -- Pentium 4 3.06ghz
RAM -- 512 MB
Video Card -- ATI Radeon Mobility 9000
The touchpad worked perfectly using /dev/psaux in 2005.0.
Updated to 2005.1 and everything works EXCEPT the touchpad.
Just updated kernel to 2.6.12-gentoo-r10, and it still doesn't work.
Tryed to test all of the /dev mice with these commands --
| Code: |
cat /dev/psaux
cat /dev/input/mice
cat /dev/input/mouse0
cat /dev/input/mouse2
cat /dev/input/mouse3
cat /dev/input/event0
cat /dev/input/event1
cat /dev/input/event2
cat /dev/input/event4
cat /dev/input/event5
|
None of these work.
If I boot to knoppix, mouse works. Any ideas?
Currently the external usb mouse works fine.
Thanks guys,
Poz

If its a synaptics mouse, or part of the synaptics family, they seem to not work correctly in newer kernels, either downgrade, or google the synaptics touchpad driver, should be the first one to come up.

Well the issue isn't that I don't have the driver -- The issue is that I can't find which input device to use.
All of the items in /dev/input I can not use 'cat' on or when I do use cat, doesn't respond to anything I do with the touchpad.
How can I configure the synaptics drivers if I dont' have an input device in /dev? |

| Updated x11-xorg and now it works fine. I didn't change a thing to my xorg.conf -- weird. |
