hello wayne
it stays the same and doesn't work ;(
(just the "No Device specified" messages disappear in the Xorg.0.log)
thanks, julian
Julian here is my entire xorg.conf see if you can find the answers
here:
One of the things to check is to make sure you have the InputDevice
"Mouse0"
"CorePointer" setup correctly. I am not 100% sure but I think both are
needed
for the touch pad to work. Let me know how your testing goes. I will
look at
some items myself.

hey thanks for your fast and helpful answer ;)
the sad news is it doesn't work (well i configured everything like you
said and the pointer still doesn't move) ;(
here is what my /var/log/Xorg.0.log has to say:

(WW) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the

any ideas?
thanks, julian
Here is the synaptics section from my xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Emulater3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
Check the ServerLayout Section and make sure you have:
InputDevice "Synaptics" "AlwaysCore"
In the Module section make sure that you have:
Load "synaptics"
Hope this helps.
hello all
i just installed FC3 on a Medion 5400 laptop (which has a synaptics
touchpad)
during the install i used a external USB mouse but since it only has
one button i wanted to get the touchpad to work (which doesn't work
per
default).
it seems it is really impossible to get the synaptics touchpad
working
on FC3, since kudzu doesn't see it at all:
"python
import kudzu
kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_MOUSE,kudzu.BUS_UNSPEC,kudzu.PROBE_ALL)
[]
kudzu.probe(kudzu.CLASS_UNSPEC,kudzu.BUS_PSAUX,kudzu.PROBE_ALL)
[Desc: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
Driver: ignore
Device: None
]"
nevertheless i've tried the following:
1. adding
"Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection"
to my Xorg.conf, but since /dev/psaux doesn't exist, it doesnt work
i also tried doing cd /dev;./MAKEDEV psaux
but when i did "cat psaux" it says something like "no applicable
device found"
in /dev/input only mice and mouse0 exist, which both only respond to
the external mouse...
if i disconnect the USB mouse, mouse0 disappears...and no input
source
is left
2. i've also tried adding "psmouse.proto=imps" to the grup.conf, no
success
3. select the "synaptics touchpad" in system-config-mouse and do a
system-config-display --reconfig
by reading fedoraforums.org posts i know that the touchpad worked
with
FC2, whats the deal?
can anyone help me?
thanks, julian
