synaptics touchpad not recognized by Xorg X server with recent -mm kernels

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hello Peter, hi Andrew!

Since 2.6.13-rc2-mm1 my X does not find my synaptics touchpad driver.

With kernel 2.6.13-rc2-mm2 (same with rc2-mm1) I get from the kernel:

Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 5.8, id: 0x9d48b1, caps: 0x904713/0x4006
input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1

and Xorg.0.log gives:

(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.2
touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 10 nodes)
touchpad The evdev kernel module seems to be missing
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(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"

(but evdev is definitely loaded!)


WIth 2.6.13-rc1-mm1 I get:

Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 5.8, id: 0x9d48b1, caps: 0x904713/0x4006
input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1

and Xorg.0.log gives:

(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.2
(--) touchpad auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event1
(--) touchpad touchpad found

Any idea what could be the reason for this?

Best wishes

Norbert
