The version of synaptics currently in the tree doesn't seem to work with xorg-server-1.4. From the Xorg.0.log: (II) LoadModule: "synaptics" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so: undefined symbol: miPointerGetMotionEvents (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics" (EE) Failed to load module "synaptics" (loader failed, 7) Recompiling synaptics doesn't help.

The latest version of synaptics in the tree fixes the compile problem. But it is still not working. I have an "Synaptics DeviceOff called" in my Xorg.0.log without any explanation. MousePointer is not working.
Builds here, and loads. But doesn't actually do anything, move cursor, mouse clicks...
Looks like /me too: xorg-server 1.4 stays doing nothing, neither keyboard nor mouse seem active, until I manage to kill it (and then the screen with the cross cursor remains and I need to login into VT1 and reboot blindly, or else I can't go to console, but acpi/power button reboots. I recompiled every driver after xorg-server, and the logs are empty or errors or significant warnings. Reverting to 1.3 and recompiling all drivers turns it into a stable, working X again.
wrong, I'm seeing bug #191822
Recompile keyboard driver again, then you get keyboard back. Synaptics touchpad still won't work.
This bug is a duplicate of bug 191899.
Patch in other report makes it build, but does not make it work.
Created attachment 130520 [details] working-xorg.conf Do you have any *core* stuff in your xorg.conf file? (Like AlwaysCore, CorePointer, SendCoreEvents) If yes try removing it. I attached my working xorg.conf as a reference(xorg-server-1.4-r1, synaptics-0.14.6)
That fixes it, thanks.
CorePointer is ok, AlwaysCore isn't.
(In reply to comment #11) > CorePointer is ok, AlwaysCore isn't. Removing CorePointer fixed the problem for me.
Created attachment 130534 [details] My Working Xorg.conf Only one CorePointer is allowed to be specified, so my attachment has two mouse devices for people to compare.
Works without a problem for me. Many thanks
(In reply to comment #11) > CorePointer is ok, AlwaysCore isn't. I'd second this. I removed AlwaysCore and it seems to work fine.
(In reply to comment #15) > (In reply to comment #11) > > CorePointer is ok, AlwaysCore isn't. > > I'd second this. I removed AlwaysCore and it seems to work fine. Just removing the all the Core stuff (SendCoreEvents, CorePointer, ...) made my synaptics work. Though I also needed *exactly one* CorePointer so that USB mouse Mouse0 would work as well, here is the relevant part of Section "ServerLayout" from xorg.conf: InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" InputDevice "TouchPad" Without the single CorePointer mouse clicking was doing strange things - in KDE apps it mostly worked and in gnome apps the click was received (I could see the button animate), but didn't do anything.

It could save a lot of time. Nobody expects the option to change like that.
