Synaptics Touchpad driver
It seems that FreeBSD 5.3 now has support in the kernel for the synaptics touchpad that my laptop has. Right now it's just running as a normal mouse, it looks like the support is disabled by default. In isa/psm.c, I can see the synaptics support in there, but it's disabled unless hw.psm.synaptics_support is set to 1. My question is how do I set it to one? It's setup as a TUNABLE_INT, but there is no sysctl for it. Does it only appear on boot? -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering.

Synaptics Touchpad driver
Does anyone know of the status of the Synaptics Touchpad driver for freebsd and what features it currently supports? Currently it's just using the regular ps/2 driver so I have very little control over customizing it. A found a few driver patches that are at least a year old and I heard that there was work on adding the driver to the 5.3 kernel, but I can't seem to find any more recent information. -- I sense much NT in you.

That's what I was wondering and I tried to set it in the loader, but I haven't noticed a difference. No added sysctls to tune the touchpad, no kernel messages showing anything obvious, the touchpad still acts the same, etc. Also, I looked through the kernel sources for other TUNABLE_INT's: ... /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c: TUNABLE_INT_FETCH("kern.cam.scsi_delay", &delay); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c:TUNABLE_INT("kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds", &changer_min_busy_seconds); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c:TUNABLE_INT("kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds", &changer_max_busy_seconds); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c:TUNABLE_INT_FETCH(tmpstr, &softc->minimum_command_size); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c:TUNABLE_INT("kern.cam.da.retry_count", &da_retry_count); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c:TUNABLE_INT("kern.cam.da.default_timeout", &da_default_timeout); /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c:TUNABLE_INT_FETCH(tmpstr, &softc->minimum_cmd_size); ... sysctls -a|grep cam: kern.cam.scsi_delay: 15000 kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds: 5 kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds: 15 kern.cam.da.retry_count: 4 kern.cam.da.default_timeout: 60 It looks like all these tunables are also sysctls. > > $.02, > /Mikko -- I sense much NT in you.

During the mouse device configuration of the installation process, all I had to do was indicate that the system has a serial mouse, and then activate it. I learned this the hard way during a previous installation when I indicated that I did not have a serial mouse, and the system failed to recognize the touchpad. Individual modules/functions of sysinstall can be run post-installation. As root, execute 'sysinstall', select Index, and then look for the module for mouse configuration. I hope this helps.

need I install synaptics Touchpad driver for FreeBSD
Hi, I've just buildkernel and xorg and foud that my compaq ynaptics Touchpad driver can't work and I congfigure psm as the man page told me with no luck. and I hate to use mouse while put the laptop on lap. and I just install xorg from 5.4 stable tree and ion2 , so need I add sth in the xorg.conf in addtion to my previous 5.3 configure?

Re: need I install synaptics Touchpad driver for FreeBSD
This is a common issue with laptops. Here's my little fix - its been a solution I've been giving out that works: in /boot/device.hints: add this line: hint.psm.0.flags="0x1000" lemme know if it doesn't do the trick. -Ben Fabian Keil wrote: Huajian Luo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I've just buildkernel and xorg and foud that my compaq ynaptics Touchpad driver can't work and I congfigure psm as the man page told me with no luck. and I hate to use mouse while put the laptop on lap. and I just install xorg from 5.4 stable tree and ion2 , so need I add sth in the xorg.conf in addtion to my previous 5.3 configure?
