Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I can't live without my touchpad extentions (scrolling, tap to click, |
| 4 |
etc). All provided somehow by the synaptics driver, but I've never |
| 5 |
really looked into how. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Recently I noticed it stopped working but I don't know what I've changed |
| 8 |
as I've been docked for so long with a usb mouse. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I've had the same section layout for aaaages: |
| 11 |
Section "InputDevice" |
| 12 |
Identifier "Synaptic Touchpad" |
| 13 |
Driver "synaptics" |
| 14 |
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" |
| 15 |
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" |
| 16 |
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" |
| 17 |
EndSection |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
The xorg.0.log error is: |
| 20 |
SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad can't grab event device, errno=16 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I tried first changing |
| 23 |
Option "GrabEventDevice" "false" |
| 24 |
but that didn't work. I noticed this: |
| 25 |
(II) config/hal: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad |
| 26 |
so I thought maybe hal is grabbing the touchpad and interfering somehow. |
| 27 |
I tried to turn off hal in my serverlayout section: |
| 28 |
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" |
| 29 |
but that doesn't help either. Now there's hardly any synaptic messages |
| 30 |
in xorg.0.log, no errors, and I still can't scroll. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'm sure theres some simple USE flag or option that I need to use but I |
| 33 |
can't find it! More to the point I would like to understand why it |
| 34 |
worked for so long but doesn't now (I've been using a similar xorg.conf |
| 35 |
file for... a long time!). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
any suggestions? |
| 38 |
|

thanks, |
