Notwithstanding that mouse entry in lshwd, I'd like to see evdev detected for my Synaptics touchpad - hotplug can do this, but lshwd and hwdetect can not.

tomk, have you solved the touchpad issue?

I can't get the touchpad on my old HP Omnibook to be recognised despite getting:

---:--- Mouse: Generic PS/2 Wheel Mouse [/dev/psaux] (msintellips/2)

when running lshwd.

Any suggestions?

Looks like the trackpointer is preventing my touchpad working.

Any suggestions how to disable the trackpointer (which is only partially functional anyway)?

One random question - anyone have any idea what "tpm" is? modinfo says "TPM module" (thanks modinfo!)

A quick google search:

From http://www.infineon.com/tpm/

Platform Security
The TPM provides the ability to the PC or notebook to run applications more secure and to make transactions and communication more trustworthy.

See, now I saw that, but ignored it when I saw the big IC picture at the top - I guess it was a bad move on my part. Thanks
