Be more verbose about what doesn't work. Did you test it with xinput ? (In reply to comment #3) > Be more verbose about what doesn't work. > Did you test it with xinput ? > Just tested the touchpad with xinput. It doesn't send any events (motion, button press, button release or any other) I do some additional testing. I've recompiled the kernel with psmouse as a module. If I unload psmouse, then touch the touchpad and load the module again, the touchpad works for a moment after the first touch. I mean I can do a simple move or a click and then the touchpad stops working. So I suppose it's a kernel bug rather than synaptics itself. I found some related errors in dmesg: [ 379.547466] input: PS/2 Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input21 [ 379.595308] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input22 [ 380.817992] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away. [ 381.341211] psmouse.c: resync failed, issuing reconnect request I'm sorry, this is the kernel losing synchronisation. The kernel driver appears to have attached to a device that does not speak the expected protocol (perhaps because it is behind an unrecognised PS/2 multiplexer or because it claims to be a Synaptics-compatible touchpad but isn't). There is nothing that a driver can do about this in userspace. |
