Hi. |

Recently I got tired of my touchpad being too sensitive, and I decided |
4 |
to try the synaptics-how-to on the gentoo-wiki. However, when starting |
5 |
X I get: |
6 |
|
7 |
[---] |

(And the touchpad gets turned off.) |
20 |
The "no synaptics touchpad detected"-part gave me a hint to take a |
21 |
look at /proc/bus/input/devices, and what I find is... strange: |
22 |
|

I don't know much about this, but that does not seem to be a touchpad |
36 |
(I'm very sure it's not my (usb) mouse). |
37 |
|
38 |
For some time I lost hope of ever getting it to work. But then I |
39 |
accidentally boot a ubuntu Live, and then my touchpad worked without |
40 |
any problem. I compared the xorg.conf's (mine and ubuntu-live) and |
41 |
they are the same. |
42 |
|
43 |
So what I suggest could be the problem is that I got my kernel wrong, |
44 |
since it seem to emulate Logitech instead of synaptics. But I don't |
45 |
know if that is the problem, or how I fix it. (I have all the kernel |
46 |
options that the gentoo-wiki synaptics-how-to recommends.) |
47 |
|
48 |
Thanks for any suggestions! |
