Description Matthew Saltzman 2006-01-11 13:34:09 UTC

Description of problem:
After upgrade to kernel-2.6.15-1.1823_FC4 (currently in updates-testing), my
Synaptics touchpad no longer works in X.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.15-1.1823_FC4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot kernel-2.6.15-1.1823_FC4 on a laptop with a Synaptics touchpad.
2. Start X.
3. Attempt to use touchpad features like tapping or border scrolling.
  
Actual results:
Features don't work.

Expected results:
Features should work.

Additional info:
No problem in previous kernels through kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.
Also have current FC4 synaptics-0.14.0-2.

No apparent errors in /var/log/messages.  But in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I get the
following errors:

(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.0
Synaptics no synaptics event device found (checked 1 nodes)
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Option "SHMConfig" "on"

(EE) Synaptics Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.

needs a udev update.

Comment 7 Harald Hoyer 2006-02-15 12:10:29 UTC

Does the latest udev erratum fix your issue?

Comment 8 Matthew Saltzman 2006-02-15 19:31:06 UTC

Yes, touchpad works fine with latest udev and kernel updates.  Thanks.
