I've been using devuan since sometime last year on an old eeepc netbook, maybe 5 years old. It just worked. Could it be that your hardware is too new? I find its touchpad to be something of a nuisance. I touch it by accident and things go strange. I prefer to use my USB wireless mouse. David Hare had success with a backported kernel. I've had problems like this a few times with new hardware. My ten year old server wouldn't do X when it was new. Regular updates, and it worked fine after about six months. Mind you, as a server it was OK that it only did text terminals for a while. -- hendrik > >> > >> lsmod|grep -iE "apple|cyapa|sermouse|synap|psmouse|vsxx|bcm" > >> > >> and getting > >> > >> psmouse 99249 0 > >> > >> Apart from this all I seem to be able to find on the net is alot about > >> setting up X for synaptics. > >> > >> As I am unsure how to proceed I would appreciate any guidance! > >> > >> /fuumind > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Dng mailing list > >> Dng@lists.dyne.org > >> https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng > _______________________________________________ > Dng mailing list > Dng@lists.dyne.org > https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
