Re: Touchpad not working after update on Asus EEE PC 901

Do you mean here?
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

Well, it is default rules provided with hal, but if you specified your own they probably should be in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/yourrulename.fdi
If you configured touchpad according to
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Syn … mmended.29
they are there. So, check those you are using.

Thanks, but mine's the system that's working - and has not (yet) had any issues. I'm just trying to work out what's different between my system and those that have hit the problem, in case that gives them something to check. However, as none of them have posted back on here I'll guess I'll leave this thread alone for now.

Same happened to me. Today I updated again and now X won't even start. I'm using hal and /var/log/Xorg.0.log states the following errors:

(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev"
(EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected.
(EE) Screens found, but none have a usable configuration.
