Created attachment 317202 [details] Xorg,/proc log details about touchpad problem Description of problem: I've a new Macbook Pro, installed fedora 9 , everything works fine except that the touchpad is not being detected by the synaptics driver, After searching for a while, came across similar problem which happened with a previous version of the trackpad. http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2007-February/msg01432.html This also explains the problem with the appletouch kernel module http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2007-February/msg01455.html I am not sure if the product number for my trackpad is included in the kernel source tree (attached file has all the required details). I am currently able to use only the 'single click' in the touch pad. I couldn't find a way to do the right click, tap to click,... etc Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [~]$ rpm -qa kernel\* synaptics\* kernel-devel-2.6.26.5-42.fc9.i686 synaptics-0.14.6-7.fc9.i386 kernel-headers-2.6.26.5-42.fc9.i386 kernel-2.6.26.5-42.fc9.i686 kerneloops-0.11-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always.

Created attachment 317288 [details] kernel module for the macbook touchpads bcm5974 dkms package for the fedora 9.
upgraded my kernel to the latest one in the rawhide (fedora 10) and got the touchpad working as usual. The above dkms package builds the kernel driver for the touchpads on kernel 2.6.26 and lower. Somehow i am unable to get the things working on the 2.6.26 kernel.
That's a bcm5974 multitouch pad and needs the new driver. I don't think we can add that, it's too big and has four followup patches applied on top of it. It will be fully supported by the kernel when we update to 2.6.27.
