It seems that kernel versions >= 2.6.0-test6 and the xfree synaptics |
2 |
touchpad driver <= 0.11.6 (or maybe even 0.11.7) are incompatible. |
3 |
According to the Synaptics driver site |
4 |
(http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad) this is known. The |
5 |
x11-misc/synaptics-0.11.8 ebuild is masked with the comment "until xfree |
6 |
stops installing the same files" which is understandable. |
7 |
|

The question is now is this something that someone is working on (as the |
9 |
xfree ebuild is what adds the synaptics driver "by hand" and not using a |
10 |
dependency on the ebuild) or can I go ahead and do this without |
11 |
duplicating effort? I'd like to test the later test distros of the |
12 |
kernel, but not being able to run X is kind of annoying (not that it's |
13 |
anyone's fault). |
14 |

15 |
TIA. |
