Output of 'lshal' command

Xorg.0.logOutput

There's no mention of synaptics in Xorg.0.log - probably because there's nothing in HAL that has "info.capabilities" containing "input.touchpad". 

There are these two entries, but note that neither has an 'info.capabilities' entry at all:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_5ac_237_noserial_if2'

There's no input device for the trackpad, so this seems to be the kernel's fault

Needs upstream commits:

9894cf0ff5e9ccda60d8d0e2d37bd61539b08826 Input: bcm5974 - prepare for a new trackpad header type
6916d97f6e25cc66a32d6e9a16419067d843b14f Input: bcm5974 - add quad-finger tapping
158e928741e58eb4aa379da422290c10fef23f00 Input: bcm5974 - Add support for the Macbook 5 (Unibody)

for this to be properly supported - they all landed post-2.6.29.

Backported code

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1395933 will have a test kernel built with this, if you could give that a go.

First installed
  kernel-PAE-2.6.30-0.97.rc8.fc12.i686.rpm
and its dependency
  kernel-firmware-2.6.30-0.97.rc8.fc12.noarch.rpm

Trackpad worked, but no wifi.


Removed, then add 2.6.29.4-167 of both.
Next installed
  kernel-PAE-2.6.29.4-168.fc11.i686.rpm

Again, trackpad works, but no wifi.

Removed broadcom-wl to attempt re-install, but all mirrors are down and cant get dependancies (am using wired connection).


Will try get more info on this over the next few days.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
