hi,
my touchpad does not work properly on archlinux. i can move the pointer but i tapping and scrolling don't work. i don't where to start from to fix this problem. it used to work on other distros (such as mepis) but not with arch.
this is what i found with dmesg:
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
Firmware: 5.8
Sensor: 35
new absolute packet format
Touchpad has extended capability bits
-> multifinger detection
-> palm detection
input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1
is that of any use?
thanks,

there is a package in the repo for the synaptics driver.
install that, and look at directions on how to use it here http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html
there are also a couple of posts on this forum giving some extra hints that might help you...

sorry for you...
i am left with only one thing to fix on archlinux and then i think i'll never leave this distro... will i ever be able to have my digital camera to work in it?

follow the camera wiki and try gtkam,
it worked both in devfs and udev for my kodak,
good luck
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

ok,
some cameras can be mounted as normal usb sticks, could be another option to try,
I havn't tried it but there are wikis on that also I think,
good luck

sorry, the little bird came late. upgrading to kernel 2.6.9 solved my problem.
