Might be worth reviewing your dmesg, there are other kinds of touchpad than synaptics (ALPS for one). I get something like this: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 6.2, id: 0x2580b1, caps: 0xa04793/0x300000 Synaptics pass-through port at isa0060/serio4/input0 input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input1 There is some bad or outdated advice out there in Google about the "SHMConfig" line though, wrong capitalization or something else wrong with the first advice I found when I tried to get it working. That one is pasted from my working config. -Andy
