27 Thanks for all the posts. I finally fixed the same problem I've had with
28 my Thinkpad X201. In my case I had to do
29
30 1) Edit /etc/make.conf INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics"
31 2) emerge xorg-drivers (also emerged xorg-server and xorg-x11 to be on
32 the safe side)
33 3) cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
34 /etc/hal/fdi/policy/.
35 4) edit 11-x11-synaptics.fdi
36 5) /etc/init.d/hald restart
37 6) restart xorg-server
