Device is recognised as PS/2 generic mouse only which is a sign that the kernel does not yet switch this device into touchpad mode. Reassigning. Is this still happening with 3.8.2 in updates-testing? This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 2 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously. |
Created attachment 599084 [details] dmesg output Description of problem: My hp Pavilion dv6 synaptics touchpad is being detected as a pointer by X server. I have tried to comment out evdev touchpad catchall portion in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf AND enabling a synaptics InputClass in another file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf, but no luck. My problem is that I cannot disable touchpad with evdev. With synaptics driver, I could disable tap when required. Simple tasks like typing becomes very frustrating with the touchpad getting accidental taps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): X.Org X Server 1.12.0 Release Date: 2012-03-04 uname -a: Linux nandan.localdomain 3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 5 20:20:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux xinput list output ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Webcam id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] How reproducible: Random (Some times the synaptics driver loads fine (automatically) and I get output for synclient -l. But other times, I get Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded? This is true whether or not I attach the external Logitech Optical USB mouse at boot time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot laptop 2. Check with synclient -l if synaptics driver got loaded. 3. Actual results: Random experiences with synaptics or evdev driver loaded after loading X server Expected results: Synaptics driver loaded every time. Additional info:
