I'm using a gateway solo 9300 with a Synaptics touchpad. Its always worked fine, kernels 2.4.x and 2.6.0. Nothing fancy in XF86Config:
Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection |
But now the touchpad won't 'tap' like it used to. Nothing else has changed. Boot back into 2.6.0 and it works fine again. Any ideas? |

Try installing the latest version of the Synaptics touchpad driver, located at http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html. Extract the archive, and copy the driver "synaptics_drv.o" into the XFree module folder, which usually is at /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/. You will have to do this as root.
I had to do this with a kernel upgrade recently -- I think it was moving from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1. _________________ I'm only hanging out in OTW until I get rid of this stupid l33t ranking.....Crap. That didn't work. |

thanks, I'd just done a google and found that. Its working now. A bit over-sensitive, but I believe I can adjust it. |

Just a tip: synaptics_drv.o is present in the last stable XFree version ..
I moved to 2.6.2_rc1 yesterday, and use it without a glitch |
