Do you mean touchpad ?

If yes, then you might want to look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

PS - I just installed xf86-input-synaptics and restarted my system, for mine to work.

Re: [Solved]Help On Install

OK more info it is installed and the only os i can get the touchpad to work on is ubuntu and it has most of the same packages in it. Just I forgot how probe the input system to find a work around for it.

Re: [Solved]Help On Install

Please read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way and put a lot more effort into explaining your issue and what you have tried, there is currently nothing here that anyone can usefully help you with...

Re: [Solved]Help On Install

Try this:

xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 1

EDIT: Corrected capitalisation -- thanks Raynman!

Re: [Solved]Help On Install

Solution: echo blacklist i2c_hid > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

I have exact the same problem, after some Google search found this solution and it worked. No idea why this would work.

Solution originaly came from: http://fr.community.dell.com/forums_dai … /14/t/4074  (Dell Franch Forum)
