Synaptics Touchpad doesn't work correctly after update

peter23 · 2011-03-25 16:15:50

I have a Lenovo T61 with 2.6.37-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 15 11:40:49 UTC 2011 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux.

xf86-input-synaptics is installed, version 1.4.0-1

Since an update, I get the following error when running startx:

Query no synaptics: 6003C8
Touchpad unable to query/initialize Synaptics Hardware
PreInit returned NULL for "Touchpad"

That is a part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. The module "synaptics" is loaded two times...

Running synclient returns the following:

Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

Running syndaemon returns the following:

Unable to find a synaptics device.

The Touchpad is still working, but changing options in the xorg.conf or the 10-synaptics.conf doesn't have any effect anymore. For example, I can not enable VertTwoFingerScroll, what was no problem before the error occured.

The section for the touchpad in /proc/bus/input/devices is the following:

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=81b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0

B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 30000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003

I tried the following:

Removing the 10-synaptics.conf and commenting out the touchpad-section in the 10-evdev.conf
Adding the line MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" to the 10-synaptics.conf
...

Thanks for help

I commented the whole

#Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
(...)
#EndSection
part

and the appropiate line
#InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
on Sever Layout.

It stopped the EE error, touchpad works here
but it's reverted to old "typing=accidentally doing clicks" since it got way too sensitive

I can't run gsynaptics , synclient or syndaemon to fix it (as I used to)
since I get

drini ~ $ synclient
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
