|
|
I've tried to update my kernel from sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-3.0.35 to some recent version but synaptics touchpad doesn't work on sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-3.6.11 nor sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-3.7.1.
.config was copied from 3.0.35 to new directories.
Code: | grep -i synaptics /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_SYNAPTICS_I2C is not set
# CONFIG_MOUSE_SYNAPTICS_USB is not set |
The message I get in Xorg.0.log is:
Code: | grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
[ 6.166] Initializing built-in extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
[ 6.518] (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event7
[ 6.518] (EE) synaptics: TouchPad: Synaptics driver unable to open device
[ 6.518] (EE) PreInit returned 11 for "TouchPad" |
Strange that I did not change anything in Xorg config, it is working on 3.0.35.
Here's the config.
EDIT: Didn't notice that new kernels changed /dev/input/event numbers...

p04ty,
I hope you ran make oldconfig.
Try Code: | emerge -av1 $(qlist -IC x11-drivers) |
that happens to me once in a while. _________________ Good luck

For many years I have never run oldconfig and all was working fine

That worked usually after Xorg upgrades, but yes, I did reemerged x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics and it didn't help. |
