xorg 1.8 + touchpad

Can't get touchpad working. HAL disabled, udev started, xf86-input-synaptics/xf86-input-evdev installed.

Keyboard works fine. If I disable mouse-all, touchpad doesn't work at all.

Re: xorg 1.8 + touchpad

You don't seem to have xf86-input-synaptics installed properly.

% pacman -Qo /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf is owned by xf86-input-synaptics 1.2.2-1

I guess reinstall xf86-input-synaptics 1.2.2-1 would solve your problem.

Just for the reference, the content of the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf" is

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
EndSection

Re: xorg 1.8 + touchpad

Reinstalled packages: xf86-input-evdev, xorg-server, xf86-input-synaptics. All .confs was recreated.

Same problem, options doesn't work.

Re: xorg 1.8 + touchpad

As  this blog and my 10-synaptics.conf say, it's fairly easy to get synaptics working. with the appropriate Section in this .conf.
You'll just need to restart X/slim/xdm/etc. after changing that file (and you got the conf right, as your quote shows). You did that, didn't you?

Same applies for e.g. German keyboard layout in X, which is to be configured in 10-evdev.conf.

Yours,
Unrest

//edit: Just in case you know some German, this is worth reading (or the hassle with babelfish)
//edit2: fixed some bad english. sorry for that. will do better in future.

Re: xorg 1.8 + touchpad

This is the testing forum - xorg 1.8 is no longer in testing.

There are other relevant threads - please use them.

Closed.
