The creation of the repeater fifo in the synaptics driver looks dubious. The file mode should be ORed with the S_IFIFO flag and the dev parameter should be null. The mknod(3p) man page suggests using mkfifo instead.
The following patch (compile tested only) uses mkfifo and the symbolic names for the file modes. Signed-off-by: Magnus Kessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
