Context: pentium 4, latest gentoo, kde 3.3.2, kernel 2.6.10, and the compiled
synaptics stuff.
As far as mice are concerned this is what I find in /var/log/messages at boot
time:
... mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
... input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
... input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio3
... Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
... Firmware: 5.9
... Sensor: 51
... new absolute packet format
... Touchpad has extended capability bits
... -> 4 multi-buttons, i.e. besides standard buttons
... -> multifinger detection
... -> palm detection
... input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio4
... Using anticipatory io scheduler
<\SNIP>
But the *** touchpad doesn't seem to be recognized by X(org) because
in /var/log/xorg.0.log I invariably find:
X Window System Version 6.8.0

Why doesn't it seem to recognize the Synaptics touchpad whilst at boot time it
does?
Are the options "device" of the kind /dev/misc/psaux, /dev/misc/mice, etc in
my xorg.conf (see below) correct?
And the InputDevice(s)?
Ciao

Here it is what is inside my xorg.conf file as far as mice are concerned
