Compiled gentoo-sources 2.6.14 and now X crashes on startup claiming there isn't a synaptic touchpad detected and so there is no corepointer. (HP nx9105 laptop runnning amd64) The relevant portion in Xorg.0.log: Query no Synaptics: 6003C8 (EE) ALPS no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) ALPS Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware. (EE) PreInit failed for input device "ALPS" (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics" I used the .config from 2.6.13-r5 and did a make oldconfig, I didn't alter any input device. [edit] dmesg shows that the touchpad is detected: PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:PS2K,PNP0f13:PS2M] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12 mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice USB0 USB1 USB2 PS2K PS2M MAC0 input: PS/2 Mouse on isa0060/serio4 input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint on isa0060/serio4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: No touchpad detected and utilyzed Expected Results: Normal functioning kernel like 2.6.13-r5 with touchpad

I did a emerge synaptic and a reboot with no positive result.
Please post diffs in unified format (diff -u). Please attach your 2.6.14 kernel .config

Now need lsmod output :) thanks

You have input event built as modular: CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m but the evdev module is not loaded. To avoid these problems in future, build drivers like this into the kernel directly.
