synaptic touchpad doesn't work after pacman -Syu

efossvold · 2006-11-05 08:35:37

I did a pacman -Syu to upgrade my system. It upgraded the synaptic package, my kernel and kde. However, now my synaptic device doesn't work... I'm getting around with an usb mouse, but I'd like to have to touchpad work again. I tried recompiling the newest synaptic source, but didn't help much.

Heres my xorg.conf:

This is the error xorg gives me:

(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"

Do you have /dev/evdev ?

cheer · 2006-11-05 09:55:58

mine Synaptics is /dev/input/mouse0

T-Dawg · 2006-11-05 14:11:50

yeah, /dev/psaux is depreciated and may have been removed from the kernel. Use

grep Handlers /proc/bus/input/devices

to find which mouse it is. You may have to change your usb to /dev/input/mice.

efossvold · 2006-11-05 18:37:16

This the output of "grep Handlers /proc/bus/input/devices":
H: Handlers=kbd event0
H: Handlers=kbd event1
H: Handlers=mouse0 event2 ts0
H: Handlers=kbd event3

My synaptic used to be mouse0 (not /dev/psaux), but after the upgrade my usb mouse became mouse0...

What's evdev though?

efossvold · 2006-11-05 19:48:41

Problem solved, for some reason the psmouse module didn't load automatically. Did

modprobe psmouse evdev

and viola, touchpad working. I'll put them in rc.conf, should do the trick.
