Configuring evdev touchapad

Hello. I've a problem with my acer 5920g. As you know this notebook model has 2 touchpad (1st touchpad 2nd multimedia keys). I've configured the "main" touchpad as synaptic touchpad and it works great. The multimedia keys (i don't need for their operation) don't work fine.

this is my xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "Multimedia"
   Driver      "evdev"
   Option      "Device" "/dev/input/event6" (in this line there's the problem)
   #Option      "Protocol" "event"
   #Option      "GrabDevice" "true"
   Option      "ButtonMapping" "6 7 8 9 10"
      
EndSection

To identify this device i have to put this string /dev/input/event6 (as man evdev say) but if i reboot the order of device change and so multimedia device won't be event6 but another number.

Is there a solution to make it finally works or disable this touchpad?

Thaks in advance and sorry for my bad english!!!!

Thanks for answer. In the wiki there isn't a configuration for evdev device.  I've found a solution here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Get … ns_Working.
