Description Tomasz Jakubowski 2008-03-29 14:34:32 UTC

The driver isn't detected by the x server, because after an emerge of the driver there are wrong file permitions.

After emerge:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38124 III 29 13:53 synaptics_drv.so

and it should be:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38124 III 29 13:53 synaptics_drv.so

When I've changed the permitions of the driver, then tthe x server detected my touchpad properly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. chmod +x /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/sunaptics_drv.so
2. restart x server

Actual Results:  
The x server detected the driver and my touchpad started to work properly.

Fixed in 0.14.6-r2, via synaptics-install-so-exec.patch.
Thanks.
