Please try 2.6.11
I have upgraded now to 2.6.11-r8. The same behaviour as before (under windows,the touchpad works).
Please post the contents of /proc/bus/input/devices and /proc/bus/input/handlers. It would also be worth confirming that the bug does/doesn't exist in vanilla-sources-2.6.12_rc4 if you wouldn't mind compiling another kernel!

I don't think the psmouse error is anything to worry about as the event driver picks it up ok. Please ensure that your X config is set up to use the event driver (evdev?) as opposed to mouse.
see comment #6 Attaching your Xorg config would be a good idea You can also do the cat test: Run "cat /dev/input/mice" then press the touchpad. Do you get any response?
Of course the cat commands with event1 show, that there's no output from the touchpad. My xorg conf shows that X wants to load the touchpad. The output is (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.1 (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" (**) Option "SHMConfig" "on" (**) Option "LeftEdge" "1900" (**) Option "RightEdge" "5400" (**) Option "TopEdge" "1400" (**) Option "BottomEdge" "4500" (**) Option "FingerLow" "25" (**) Option "FingerHigh" "30" (**) Option "MaxTapTime" "180" (**) Option "MaxTapMove" "220" (**) Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" (EE) Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware. (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Touchpad" This might indicate that there's a problem with the usb port as http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad suggests. I tried the solutions there but this did not resolve the problem
event1 is your PC speaker. catting that isn't going to be much use. Please try the cat operation on the other nodes too, including the mice nodes. Please attach your X config.
Created attachment 61179 [details] my xorg config
thanks. But catting event 3 still does not work. I made the same mistake in my Xorg config. The logfile now reads (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Touchpad" (type: MOUSE) Synaptics DeviceInit called SynapticsCtrl called. Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Touchpad touchpad found (II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/local/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! SetClientVersion: 0 8 I attached my xorg config.
even when I plug out the usb mouse, the touchpad seems not to react
Please do the following (and respond to every point where I'm asking something...): Upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.6.12 and attach the new dmesg output Run "cat /dev/input/mice", use the touchpad, and see if any output comes onscreen Run "cat /dev/input/eventX", for every event that there is, use the touchpad, and see if any output comes onscreen Change your X config to do something like: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "LeftEdge" "1900" Option "RightEdge" "5400" Option "TopEdge" "1400" Option "BottomEdge" "4500" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.02" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" EndSection and see if that fixes X.
the same problems as before. dmesg shows the same output, that it can't enable the mouse. No cat command (mice and event 1,2,3) shows any output from the touchpad, even when the usb mouse is plugged of. The changed config of Xorg did not result in any difference.

this is what the maintainer of the driver wrote me: >From the i8042 debug output, it looks like the kernel tries to enable a pass-through device on the touchpad, even though the identification info says the touchpad doesn't have a pass-through device. (A pass-through device is usually a pointing stick.) When reading the driver source code for 2.6.12, it seems like this could not happen. Maybe gentoo is patching the kernel driver somehow. Do you get the same problem when using a vanilla kernel from www.kernel.org?
Zeveck, Does it help if you boot with "i8042.nomux" on the kernel command line (note it will not help in Benjamin's case)? Dmitry
I'm now booting from a 2.6.11.11 vanilla Kernel. No change in the behaviour. this is my dmesg 1c3be3fd pass testing wp512 across pages testing wp384 test 1: 19fa61d75522a4669b44e39c1d2e1726c530232130d407f89afee0964997f7a73e83be698b288feb

Benjamin: You should probably test and post results on plain 2.6.12 as well. And please use the attachment feature when posting large files in future. Dmitry: Thanks for peering in. We don't patch any input stuff in 2.6.12, but we did have a couple of patches included in 2.6.11. I'm hoping to get the website detailing our patchset back online today.
no, vanilla 2.6.12 has the same error messages and the touchpad does still not work at all. If you google after "psmouse.c: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1" it gets evident, that I am not the only person who has this error. http://www.google.de/search?biw=1015&hl=de&q=%22psmouse.c%3A+Failed+to+enable+mouse+on+isa0060%2Fserio1%22&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
Benjamin: Right, but it would probably help Dmitry if you could give actual results from the latest (unpatched) kernel. Please upgrade to vanilla-sources-2.6.13_rc1, and in menuconfig, increase the log buffer size so that you get the whole of dmesg: Kernel hacking --> [*] Kernel debugging (17) Kernel log buffer size <--- set this to 17 Then boot up as normal, capture dmesg into a file, and see if the problem is still there. If so, attach the file here. Zeveck: Putting you on CC since I'm not sure you are reading this. We'd appreciate if if you could read and respond to comment #17. Thanks.
this kernel with psmouse modifications seems not bo be available with webrsync (I'm under a firewall of my university) till now. The output of a debug kernel version 2.6.12 does not give many insights PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:KBC,PNP0f13:MOU2] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12 serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 psmouse.c: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio1 when 2.6.13 is available I'll post the new dmesg
Yes, adding that to the kernel line seems to have fixed it in my case. Instead of the previous output I now get: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 5.9, id: 0x926eb1, caps: 0x804719/0x0 input: SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad on isa0060/serio1 And, the touchpad still seems to work fine in X. What does that parameter do? (sorry I didn't respond sooner...I'd just assumed Bugzilla would e-mail me when there was a response)
Benjamin: vanilla-sources-2.6.13_rc1 should now be available in a webrsync snapshot
Yes. They are available. Also the maintainer of the synaptics driver has asked me on some tests. Since I have no time this week, I'll report till Monday 18 July (sorry I have to learn for some exams which are next week. I'll report immediatley when I'm ready). Since I haven't said this before: My Laptop is an Acer TravelMate 660
Zeveck, i8042.nomux disables active multiplexing mode of the i8042 controller. When in multiplexing mode you have 4 independent AUX ports which is great if you have a Synaptics touchpad and also use external PS/2 mouse. Unfortunately some boxes, for example certain Fujitsus, don't properly support this mode. Can you tell me if your box has external PS/2 ports? If it does not please send me (dtor_core@ameritech.net) output of 'dmidecode' utility and I will update blacklist in i8042. Thanks!
Created attachment 63054 [details, diff] Automatically disable MUX mode on Alienware Sentias Hi Zeveck, Please try this patch and verify that you don't need to use i8042.nomux to get your touchpad going. Thanks! Dmitry
It does indeed appear that that patch fixed the problem on my computer. Thanx!!
Hi, the maintainer has asked me to make some tests. I should activate raw acces and bind the serio port to the raw device with these commands: echo -n "manual" >/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/bind_mode echo -n "serio_raw" > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/drvctl after doing this on pure console, the keyboard did not react anymore. In X it goes crazy like someone always pressed return. Might be the error has to do with the Keyboard that interferes the touchpad?
with maintainer I ment the maintainer of the Synaptics touchpad driver Peter Osterlund
Most likely your touchpad is connected to serio0. Try doing the following: ls -la /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio?/driver You need the one linked to 'psmouse' driver.
Ok. Since nothing happened when bound to serio0, I'll test the old 2.4 Kernel where the touchpad has worked as it was installed, to check, that there's no hardware defect in the pad. I'll report as soon a I have installed it.
I give up. compiling the new Kernel 2.6-r13 gentoo sources with genkernel --menuconfig leads to some strange errors with ipw2100 aand ieee80211 and also it seems that I have something to reconfigure with devfs and the starting block device. Kernel 2.4 genkernel --menuconfig compilation with the recent 2.4 Kernel in portage leads to these problems. It seems that I must live without touchpad. I can't verify if it is defect. The binding of serio0 to the raw device however, shows no errors but it simply doesnt work.

(In reply to comment #33) > The binding of serio0 to the raw device however, > shows no errors but it simply doesnt work. I am a bit confused - when you say "it does not work" - what exactly did you do? It should have reported something like this: serio_raw: raw access enabled on isa0060/serio0 (serio_raw0, minor 15) Then you should create device node: mknod /dev/psaux-raw c 10 15 And use this device as you would use /dev/psaux in 2.4
does not work means, that pressing any Key of the touchpad has no effect when I cat /dev/serio_raw0 or when I edit my xorg.conf to load /dev/serio_raw0 as touchpad device
(In reply to comment #35) > does not work means, that pressing any Key of the touchpad has no effect when I > cat /dev/serio_raw0 The device might be disabled. You need to go through all the motions with resetting the touchpad, enabling it, setting rate and rsolution, etc. > or when I edit my xorg.conf to load /dev/serio_raw0 as > touchpad device What driver are you using in this case? What protocol? What does "ls - la /dev/serio_raw0" show?
Benjamin, don't reassign bugs to bug wranglers, they definitely won't solve this...
to the comment above: sorry, it was a mistake To Dimitry r165184 ~ # ls -la /dev/serio_raw0 gives: lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Jul 20 03:17 /dev/serio_raw0 -> misc/serio_raw0
Ok, so now if you do something like the following (in text console, not in X): gpm -m /dev/serio_raw0 -t ps2 .. can you move the cursor using your touchpad?
Thakyou all. My Touchpad works. It was disabled by an Hardware Key. (I have acerhk installed). One Key which I must have pressed accidentially disabled the touchpad. Sorry, and thanks for your help-
Always the simple things eh ;) Reopening/reassigning so that we don't forget to apply the nomux fix for future 2.6.12 releases
BTW: Thanks for fixing that, Dmitry. Do you mind if I CC you on kernel input bugs in the future once the usual info has been posted? We don't get many, don't worry :)
Sentia problem fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r7 (genpatches-2.6.12-11)
Just FYI: Sentia patch is also in Linus's tree so post 2.6.13-rc4 releases should have it.
