In your make.conf, replace your input devices with this:
| Code: | | INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" |
You need to emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev.
Make sure you have EVDEV support in your kernel.
| Code: | nightshade ~ $ grep -i evdev /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m
nightshade ~ $ |
And make sure its loaded on boot (assuming you are using openrc):
| Code: | nightshade ~ $ grep evdev /etc/conf.d/modules
modules_2_6="${modules_2_6} evdev"
module_evdev_args_2_6=""
nightshade ~ $ |
Also, please make sure your kernel is set up like described here:

Maybe I didn't show clearly. Currently, I set my bios to use Nvidia graphic card only.
So I don't think I need to load intel's driver.
I did follow the handbook said, except the .config file to the kernel.
I use the kernel config from http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Gentoo_on_a_ThinkPad_T420
and use make ARCH='x86_64' to make sure it's a configure file for amd64.
Thank you for your advice about evdev setting and user group setting. I'll have a try this night. I'm in Beijing, China.
Glad to meet you if we have chance. |
