touchpad on my dell latitude D830 is unusable after upgrade. I made sure to rebuild all xorg libs. downgrading to 2.1.3 solves issue. It's kinda hard to describe what's going on, but from the looks of things, moving the mouse seems to generate two events, the first for X then the next for Y. So I see a split-second of the cursor where I think it should be, but then it jumps back to ~32 pixels from the left side, at whatever Y position it's at. I noticed that with the new version that Xorg.log says "type: TABLET" for some reason: (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" (type: TABLET) whereas with the old version it says mouse: (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" (type: MOUSE) I can attach more info if needed
Please post your "emerge --info" and attach the Xorg.0.log with the failing evdev version in use. Re-open this bug when you provide the requested information.

The same thing is happening on my Dell Inspiron 1000. emerge --info http://dpaste.com/13692/ Xorg.0.log http://dpaste.com/13694/
Please don't use external paste sites. You can attach files to bugzilla. Thanks
I have no idea what is causing this issue. Please file a bug in FreeDesktop's bugzilla. Please paste the url here so we can track the issue. Thanks
I opened a bug at freedesktop, and got a chance to hack on the source today. I have a patch on the freedesktop bug if you'd like to try it Jake.
It seems as though the upstream bug report is at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20661 and the bug has been fixed upstream.

Sorry forgot to update here when we got the patch finalized. Upstream fixes all the problems for me now.
*** Bug 262099 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I confirm the bug on a Dell Latitude E6400 (synaptics drivers not loading), and confirm that evdev 2.2.1 (which is ~x86) fixed all of the problems.
Closing as per the upstream bug report and comment #12 from Stefano. Thanks
