I just installed Arch, with Compiz as my windows manager, on my Gateway NV53 laptop. All was going well until i booted into compiz, then I found out my pointing devices weren't working. It's funny because I can use both the touchpad and mouse to move the pointer around, but can't right or left click at all.
At first it worked on the touchpad, for a couple clicks, but then it stopped working after that, and it never worked on my wireless mouse. I installed the latest Synaptics drivers, but when I tried to run synclient, it said "Couldn't find Synaptics Properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Vapour

What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say about your devices - the touchpad and the mouse?
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

And I don't see an entry for the trackpad.
The whole log is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/333614/
Looking at it now, there's a lot of drivers missing, like the mouse, ati-mic, ati-headphone, etc. How would I install those?
Thanks,
Vapour

You need to install xf86-input-synaptics for the touchpad.
I've never used a wireless mouse so I know nothing about them. You could try installing xf86-input-mouse.
The mic and headphones are handled by alsa, oss or pulseaudio depending on how you have things set up.

I stated that I installed the xf86-input-synaptics in the first post, but its still not working

Now it seems like the touchpad is working, after a few restarts, but the mouse still isn't, even after I installed xf86-input-mouse.
Any more ideas?
Edit: Nope, restarted it again and the touchpad doesn't work again. What do I do?

The trackpad just randomly died right now. I think it has to do with a program running or something, because as soon as I try clicking the mouse, the trackpad stops working.
