Are you using a kernel module for your touchpad? What one? If you add it to the modules.autoload file, does it all work properly again? Not sure what module it's using. I believe it's 8250_pci, but I could be incorrect. Is there a definite way to determine this? (In reply to comment #2) > Not sure what module it's using.

The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 9300. The required module is psmouse. I just verified by loading/unloading the module manually. When it's unloaded, the touchpad no longer works. Do it works when you add psmouse to /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6? Yes, it works when added. However, it was not needed when using coldplug. Please read the changelog and the comments in the udev rules files for how to get these types of devices to work properly. |
