Kludge to get touchpad working
Are you _sure_ a 2.6.7 kernel from kernel.org works with the same .config? I don't see any patches in the g-d-s package that could affect this at all. What arch is this laptop (amd64 or x86)? Created attachment 35251 [details]
Kernel configuration
This is the config used on both vanilla 2.6.7, and gentoo 2.6.7-r19.

dmesg from gentoo 2.6.7 r19
The architecture is amd64 (as stated in the hardware box above ;-) I don't think an emerge info would be of any use so I haven't included it. If no-one has any useful suggestions before tommorow I'll start applying the gentoo patches one at a time until I find the culprit (I hope there aren't that many..). The laptop in question is an eMachines M6805. Flashing the BIOS with the firmware from the M6809 (slightly higher spec and newer model) has fixed this problem (and some other problems too). For information, the BIOS firmware can be found here: http://www.rmecc.com/~v2/em/index.html Thanks for keeping us up-to-date. |
