 Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 3:23 am Post subject: xorg-server-1.5, hal and synaptics - no luck at all [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Older Acer Travelmate 4150 laptop running stable x86. Did the emerge to the now-stable 1.5 xorg server, and followed the upgrade instructions in eselect news and on these forums. Enabled hal, minimized my xorg.conf, and copied any number of synaptics xml files into /etc/hal/fdi/policy, one at a time. Could never get any of them to work. The logs show the synaptic driver loading, and everything looks OK, but there is just no response from the touchpad. Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong here?
Using synclient:
| Code: |
synclient -m 50
time x y z f w l r u d m multi gl gm gr gdx gdy
0.000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000 0 0 0 0 0
|
No response at all when I touch the touchpad.
Here's xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Load "synaptics"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "915GM"
Driver "intel"
Option "NoAccel" "false"
Option "DRI" "true"

I'm using two pointer devices, a USB mouse and the synaptics touchpad. The mouse works, but the touchpad doesn't. If I unplug the mouse and restart hald and xdm, the logs look the same other than the mouse input device is gone, but the touchpad still fails to function. The mouse and the touchpad used to function together before on this laptop. I just cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Can someone see something obvious that I'm missing?

As a blind guess: Remove the synaptics/module stuff from xorg.conf, remove the corepointer stuff from the fdi file. restart X and look if touchpad is recognized then. Then you may call "synclient -l" to see whether your speeds are set to positive numbers. Does X recognize pressed buttons?
Btw, you set the hal flag in make.conf (xorg-server, xf86-input-synaptics, etc)? And hal is running? Have you stable packages only?

I am far from an expert on this subject, but I did get my Synaptics Touchpad to work. Just lucky I guess.
Does your touchpad have an on/off switch? Mine has a little button hat enables/disables the touchpad.
From man synaptics
| Code: | Option "TouchpadOff" "integer"
Switch off the touchpad. Valid values are:
0 Touchpad is enabled
1 Touchpad is switched off
2 Only tapping and scrolling is switched off
|
Your xorg.conf looks correct to me.
I can't find reference to "CorePointer" in man synaptics. I agree with kornhs4 and I would delete that line from your fdi policy.
For reference here is my synaptics fdi policy file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
| Code: | zippy policy # cat 11-x11-synaptics.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

I've had the same problem with my synaptics, until I moved the policy file into 10osvendor subdirectory of /etc/hal/fdi/policy/.
This is my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-xinput-configuration.fdi:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">

</match>
</device>
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">

OK, started with this xorg.conf:
| Code: |
#Section "Module"
# Load "synaptics"
#EndSection
Section "Monitor"

VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"

Option "DRI" "true"
EndSection

Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "dri"

and removed the xml file from /etc/hal/fdi/policy.
Did '/etc/init.d/hald restart' and '/etc/init.d/xdm restart'. The
Xorg.0.log file from just before where I see 'synaptics' first mentioned:

Running 'synclient -l' produces:
| Code: |
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
|
Not too surprising, since the xml file that enabled it is gone.
This is a stable x86 system, with only a few packages keyworded in
/etc/portage/package.keywords. 'ps aux | grep 'hal'' shows:

Argh. It looks so close, but that mouse pointer just won't move unless I
wiggle the USB mouse. Stroking, sliding and banging furiously on the touchpad
and it's buttons in frustration yield nothing but some temporary personal
satisfaction.
If I unplug the USB mouse and restart hal and xdm, I get this
in the Xorg.0.log (again pruned for size to the point where I see synaptics):

Still no response though. I tried a full hail mary reboot at this
point--complete power cycle reboot with the USB mouse unplugged--to see if
I could shake something loose. Nope. 'synclient -l' shows the device as
above, but 'synclient -m 50' still gives:
| Code: |
time x y z f w l r u d m multi gl gm gr gdx gdy
0.000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000 0 0 0 0 0
|
with no response.
Next, I commented out the line that loaded the psmouse module in
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and rebooted. Something still loads it
in, so I did 'rmmod psmouse' to get rid of it. Now it's interesting.
Xorg.0.log shows these two lines at the bottom:
| Code: |
(II) config/hal: removing device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
|
If I now 'modprobe psmouse', these lines get added:
| Code: |
(II) config/hal: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.0.0
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event5"

(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" (type:

(--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad touchpad found
|
Still no touchpad response. '/dev/input' looks like:
| Code: |
by-path event0 event1 event2 event3 event4 event5 mice mouse0
|
If I plug the USB mouse back in, '/dev/input' shows:
| Code: |
by-id event0 event2 event4 event6 mouse0
by-path event1 event3 event5 mice mouse1
|
And the USB mouse works. The following is appended to Xorg.0.log:
| Code: |

(**) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: always reports core events
(**) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event6"

As far as I know, there is no on/off button for the touchpad on this laptop.
I also tried moving the hal fdi file to a '10osvendor' subdirectory under
/etc/hal/fdi/policy, but that had no effect.
It's curious, though, that my touchpad comes and goes with the psmouse driver.
Perhaps that's expected behaviour if the synaptics driver uses the
mouse driver, or perhaps it's a misconfiguration in my system somewhere. I'll
have to google around some more to find out. Anyway, thanks for the
suggestions so far. I haven't tried to rebuild everything without the hal use
flag yet, but if I can't sort this out I'll try that later as the desperation
increases. |

radio_flyer,
I will mention this simply because I don't see it mentioned in this thread.
Is your kernel set correctly?
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
Input device support --->
<*> Event interface |
This is a wild guess. It just seems like it must be something simple.

Something I may try is recompiling the kernel and building it in to see if it makes a difference.
I'm still researching this on google. It doesn't help that some of the info is contradictory. I suspect that I'm encountering either a deep, subtle bug or setup issue in the new hal/synaptics event code, my hardware broke just as I was upgrading to xorg 1.5, or I've forgotten something insanely stupid, like forgetting to turn on some 'touchpad on' switch in a configuration file somewhere. I agree with jfp: I'm leaning toward the latter, so keep those ideas coming! |

Another wild guess.
In your /etc/make.conf it looks like you have:
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev vmmouse"
In my make.conf I only have:
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"
Which is what I saw somewhere in my quest to get my touchpad to work.
If you do update your make.conf, I am not sure if you need to do an emerge -uDN world or not.

Do some more research in the forum here. There are several excellent threads on the issue. I forget which one I followed, but the long and short is I got my synaptics back. Here are my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi files for your perusal.

I noticed this in the INSTALL file for x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics. I know I have CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2 set in my 2.6.28 kernel,
but I don't recall seeing it as a requirement in any of the various discussion threads.
It is under Input device support --> Mice
| Quote: | Kernel:
For use with kernel 2.6.x you need to enable synaptics touchpad support when
configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2). You also need support for the evdev
interface (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV). If you compile evdev as a module, make sure it
is loaded before starting the X server, as it will not be auto-loaded.
|
This actually came from x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.1.0 (not yet in portage). I created an ebuild for it in a local overlay. I get a compile error though - probably why it is not in portage. If you want I will post the entire INSTALL and README files. They don't talk about configuring with regard to hal and fdi files. Everything is in xorg.conf-speak (which I don't understand very well), but they may contain some pointers someone better versed in xorg.conf might understand.

Thanks everyone for your help. As I suspected, it was indeed stupidity on my part. On this old Acer Travelmate 4150 laptop, the 'Fn-F7' key sequence toggles the touchscreen on and off. I haven't used that keystroke in years, and forgot all about it. Something must have triggered the BIOS to flip it during this xorg upgrade. Finally came across a web page that mentioned it, about the same time that I finally remembered where I had put that d**n manual. Sure enough, now it's all working fine.
Sorry for the false alarm. Oh well, at least I've learned a lot about the new hal event system the last few days. |
