as you can see i try to change some setting in this file.

50-synaptics.conf file

And this the update log after I loose my track pad features here

Only mouse move and the left click with one or two finger tap work. I try to remove all Option section in both evdev and synaptics config file but no change.
I try to revert kernel update because with 3.9.8-1 all work fine but nothing change.
I also try to reinstall xf86-input-synaptics, psmouse-elantech from AUR no change.

I continue to search on my side.

Thanks

Have you tried downgrading xf86-input-evdev ?

Badrocklo · 2013-07-22 14:54:40

I have try to downgrading xf86-input-evdev 2.8.0.1 to 2.7.2 and no change i try also with kernel 3.9.9 and 3.9.8

I find nothing to resolve my trouble. My next step is to reinstall Arch.

opt1mus · 2013-07-22 18:49:50

Have you added or removed any hooks in your mkinitcpio.conf? Specifically the keyboard hook, as that can affect touchpads.

Badrocklo · 2013-07-23 15:14:27

I don't do anything to mkinitcpio.conf but i have trouble with loading asus_nb_wmi on load after kernel update i will see in this file if something change thanks.

Badrocklo · 2013-07-24 11:33:38

I have make a fresh install, and all works fine without psmouse-elantech from UR just xf86-input-synaptics.

opt1mus · 2013-07-24 12:00:49

I doubt very much that this required a reinstallation of Arch, well at least you know the culprit - I too have Elantech trackpads on two machines, and multitouch has worked as expected with xf86-input-synaptics.

Got the same problem, but since I don't get how this one here got solved I opened a new thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1304701
