Hi Robin,

I know this isn't going to be much of a comfort - but I've had great
difficulty trying to get Xorg to work nicely with - surprise - the
Synaptics touchpad on my Acer notebook as well. I posted to the list
almost a week ago reporting that while Xorg worked brilliantly one day
- suddenly it stopped working.

I did blow the installation away and started again (unrelated issue)
the other day and the touchpad is working much as it was before. I
don't have my specific Xorg config in front of me as the missus has
stolen the laptop today unfortunately, however I've flagged this
thread so I'll attach it and send it over to you tonight.


Thanks I appreciate it. With my machine I can get the 1280x800 mode using 
915resolution hack and I do have a mouse if I drop the touchpad entirely (from 
loader.conf and xorg.conf) and use moused_enable=YES in rc.conf. For whatever 
reason the synaptics stuff is a bit flaky on my machine as I have had a couple 
of forced reboots with hw.psm.synaptics_support=1.


If all else fails I will try and do the new 7.2 Xorg build from scratch.

Synaptics trackpad problem

2007-06-03 Thread Robin Becker
I'm trying to get XORG setup on my acer laptop with 6.2 release. Things 
are fine except I cannot get the trackpad to work; x starts, but the 
mouse is frozen. I have had pcbsd on the same machine and the mouse 
worked there, but not as a trackpad.


Any help appreciated
