Did you add this entry to your /etc/X11/XF86Config ? | Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Edges" "1900 5400 1800 3900"
Option "Finger" "45 50"
Option "MaxTapTime" "100"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"

I recently upgraded my laptop [Dell i8100] to the 2.6.x kernel. I'm now regularly experiencing much the same error
| Code: | | Aug 17 16:26:54 laptop psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 |
I've no idea what's causing it, or how to fix it. The only temporary solution is for me to make psmouse.o a kernel module. When I lose my mouse, I can open up a root terminal window without too much fuss, and
| Code: | rmmod psmouse
modprobe psmouse |
So far this has brought my mouse back every time. Annoying, but no longer a killer. Anyone have any idea about cause/fix yet? |

You could try the following steps when using the 2.6 kernel:
1. Check if your kernel detects the touchpad with | Code: | | $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices |
or | Code: | | $ dmesg | grep -iC8 synaptics |
If everything is okay, go to step 3.
2. Make certain that "evdev" and "psmouse" are compiled into the kernel, or, are loaded as modules. I load them as modules. I also have to load my USB-stuff before the touchpad-modules (nasty bug in kernel 2.6.7 and previous, didn't test with 2.6.8 yet). | Code: | $ cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
# usb
usb_storage
ohci_hcd
ehci_hcd
...
# touchpad
evdev
psmouse
|
3. Check your touchpad with | Code: | | $ cat /dev/input/event? |
and move your finger over the pad. If some garbage appears on the screen, it's working.
4. Install the synaptics driver for your X-server | Code: | | $ emerge -av synaptics |
5. Configure your X-server. My xorg.conf looks like this (I use an extra USB-mouse): | Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
...
InputDevice "Mouse[0]" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
Section "Module"
...
# Synaptic touchpad
Load "synaptics"
EndSection
# Synaptic touchpad
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Mouse[0]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "LeftEdge" "1900"
Option "RightEdge" "5400"
Option "BottomEdge" "1800"
Option "TopEdge" "3900"

Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
EndSection
# extra USB-Mouse
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

I post there because, more over 2 years after, I get the same problem. Here is an extract of my dmesg command :

The solution is NOT into xorg.conf since theses messages come from the kernel. Moreover, the problem also appears with gpm (who doesn't read xorg.conf). The symptoms? While I use my touchpad, the driver resync and, for about 5 to 10 seconds, the pointer stay fixed and I HAVE TO WAIT. The real problem is there : these drivers resyncs occurs every minutes, sometime less.
So i give you my emerge --info. Here is the one when I use my laptop under x86_64 arch, but the problem also occurs when i'm under x86 arch.

I have the exact same problem, also on kernel 2.6 with a synaptics touchpad (for the record, on amd64). I think it's crazy there's no solution found for this yet!

Okay, if you've been having this problem, please try this: Kill you battery monitoring applet (if you have one). Report back whether this makes the problem go away. It works for me: the offending applet was the xfce4 battery monitoring applet.

I tried using evdev and it worked initally but then when I rebooted it got buggy. Right now I realized I didn't have the synaptics module loading, and it seems to be working ok right now...
Also try this, charge your battery all the way, if it's at 100% and your on a/c power and it's still not working check /proc/bus/input/devices and make sure it's not registering as a generic ps/2 device or a generic touchpad, if either of those are the case you need to jump into your bios and see if there's a setting to turn off legacy support for the mouse. It SHOULD register at SynPS/2 Touchpad or AltPS/2 Touchpad, something like that... anyway if That's ok, then I'd try disableing acpi to see if that clears things up, if that doesn't work... you're screwed. |
