hi,
my touchpad (ALPS) works fine with xorg 6.9, but after a clean install of gentoo with the new xorg7.
my make.conf has INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard synaptics" option.
i get this:

Code:

(EE) TouchPad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "TouchPad"


Code:

Section "InputDevice"

Only thing I can think of is are you certain that the touchpad is /dev/input/mouse1?

Mine (an Alps GlidePoint) works with Protocol set to "auto-dev", here is the relevant section of xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Touchpad"
    Driver         "synaptics"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto-dev"
    Option         "LeftEdge" "130"
    Option         "RightEdge" "840"
    Option         "TopEdge" "130"
    Option         "BottomEdge" "640"
    Option         "FingerLow" "7"
    Option         "FingerHigh" "8"
    Option         "MaxTapTime" "180"
    Option         "MaxTapMove" "110"
    Option         "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75"
    Option         "VertScrollDelta" "20"
    Option         "HorizScrollDelta" "20"
    Option         "MinSpeed" "0.60"
    Option         "MaxSpeed" "1.10"
    Option         "AccelFactor" "0.030"
    Option         "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "200"
    Option         "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "200"
    Option         "UpDownScrolling" "1"
    Option         "CircularScrolling" "on"
    Option         "CircScrollDelta" "0.1"
    Option         "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
    Option         "SHMConfig" "on"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
EndSection

And just for comparison...
Code:
[2][chris@toaster:~]$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
[SNIP]
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=6337
N: Name="AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=mouse1 event2
B: EV=f
B: KEY=420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3
B: ABS=1000003
[SNIP]

solved, thanks a lot. now finally my xorg is error free :)
maybe we can modify this wiki:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad

that can be updated (section about ALPS suggests "Protocol" "event")
