Happy new year everyone!
I installed Archlinux with Gnome on my Toshiba U400, everything works except for the touchpad, I used to use Opensuse 11.1 and the graphics card(intell 4500) + touchpad worked well, so I used xorg.conf from previous opensuse 11.1, I thought it would work exactly the same as in Opensuse, however it doesn't. Here is my xorg.conf:

I did check the wiki on synaptics, however, here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Syn … t.2Fmouse0
made me confused:
(it tells you how to detect which device is for touchpad)
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=0000
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1
B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 7000f 0
As your Handlers are mouse0 and event1, you use /dev/input/mouse0.
I ran the same program and get:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input9
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse2 event9
B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003
As my Handlers are mouse2 and event9, so what device do I use?

I got it working now!
What I do is to use the unmodified xorg.conf from Opensuse(ie device be /dev/input/mice other than /dev/input/mouse*), and then I checked the wiki again and found out tapping is disabled by default in xorg 7.4, so I added:
Section "InputDevice"
...
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
...
EndSection
and now everything works like before including tap-to-move windows!
