Yes, this is what actually happens. JFYI see current thread on lkml which is a bit realted - http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/27/149 if interested. > This change confuses the X synaptics driver: > Touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 11 nodes) > Touchpad The /dev/input/event* device nodes seem to be missing > (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event2 > No such file or directory. > (WW) Touchpad: cannot open input device > One could say that the synaptics driver rightly complains about the > missing event2 device! So is this a bug in the X synaptics driver? You can of course work this around by adding an udev rule such as SUBSYSTEM=="input",KERNEL=="event*",SYSFS{name}=="appletouch",SYMLINK+="input/appletouchpad" and the let Xorg use /dev/input/appletouchpad, which will always be a symlink to the correct device. -- Jiri Kosina
