Hello all,

2

3

I upgraded from 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 to 2.6.38-gentoo-r6. I didn't change

4

anything in the config file, and used the old kernel config to compile

5

the new kernel. However, when I booted into the new kernel, I found the

6

scrolling in the touch pad is not working !

7

If I boot into the older kernel it works fine. I recompiled the

8

following Xorg drivers under the new kernel :

9

10

xf86-input-evdev-2.6.0

11

xf86-input-mouse-1.7.0

12

xf86-input-synaptics-1.3.0

13

xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.2

14

xf86-video-intel-2.14.0

15

xf86-video-vesa-2.3.0

16

17

I tried to check the correct mouse device using:

18

cat /dev/input/* 

19

20

For all the devices, but none produced the expected output of

21

unreadable characters. 

22

23

For some reason, TouchPad is not found, as per  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
