On my eeePC-1005PE, there is a touchpad and a usb mouse. After upgrade to udev-182-r2 the touchpad no longer works in X (the mouse works). More exactly, touchpad buttons work, but I cannot move the mouse pointer with the touchpad.

Both the touchpad and the mouse still work OK in the text mode, /etc/conf.d/gpm specifies MOUSEDEV=/dev/input/mice Another observation: I see neither touchpad nor mouse in eeepc ~ # lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 13d3:5126 IMC Networks Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04f3:0232 Elan Microelectronics Corp.

Please attach /proc/bus/input/devices and output of "xinput list --long" Do you see the same problem if you use xf86-input-synaptics instead of xf86-input-evdev?

> ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)] appears to be detected correctly, including X and Y valuators. As you might have an Elantech touchpad (verify by running update-usbids, then lsusb again), is MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH enabled in your kernel?
Thanks. I've done the following: 1. recompiled the kernel with Elantech PS/2 protocol extension enabled 2. emerged x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.2 3. Added an InputDevice section with Driver "synaptic" to xorg.conf, and mentioned this section in ServerLayout Now both the touchpad and the mouse work. The only thing I cannot understand: why they worked fine without all these things before the upgrade to the latest udev?
