Differences in dmesg output between working and non-working kernels

From what I can tell it seems a newer version of udev is needed for 2.6.15. There are no entries for the touchpad being created in /dev/input. This causes the Synaptics driver to fail to load and results in no Synaptics-specific functionality. Unfortunately it seems there is no updated udev for FC4 currently available. *nod*, the udev update hasn't been built yet, and there's a bug filed on it already, though I don't have the number handy to dupe against right now. This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. Thank you. Verified working with the current kernel and udev versions. |
