Description Robert Paskowitz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-09 13:51:10 UTC 
On some laptops(or perhaps with some kernels), the generic PS/2 interface to the synaptics device will get 'synaptics' in the physical name shown in /proc/bus/input/devices. This causes a problem with my previous patch as multiple event interfaces are picked up. The following patch is a replacement for the current mkxf86config-0.8-gentoo.patch and has it look for 'synaptics' in only the Name lines, clearing up this problem.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
