 Can't configure touchpad. |
|
Hi.
I'm on Lucid 5.2.8. Basically, what is happening is, when I try to launch the mouse configuration program (Flsynclient), I get the error message "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?".
I am aware this was a known issue in 5.1, but the same fix of running xorgwizard does not fix the problem in this case. All I want to do is turn off the tap to click. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log in the geany texteditor . Search for synaptics and the messages about it .
The xorg driver is located in
/usr[/X11R7/]lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
When I look at the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I have
lines like
Section "Module"
Load "synaptics"
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Synaptics Mouse"
Identifier ".org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Mouse"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
*
You can alternatively try to delete ~/.flSynclient to start fresh or copy a working .flSynclient configuration file and launch flsynclient -s .

Xorg fails with missing mouse by default .
-allowMouseOpenFail start server even if the mouse can't be initialized
could be put into to line in xwin
/usr/bin/xinit /root/.xinitrc -- -br -nolisten tcp > /tmp/xerrs.log 2>&1
like
| Code: | | /usr/bin/xinit /root/.xinitrc -- -br -allowMouseOpenFail -nolisten tcp > /tmp/xerrs.log 2>&1 |
in the Xorg part else kernel not 2.6.18.8
The radeon has had problems several times on the forum .
I would try like myself to use the vesa driver if it is possible to check if that would work .
I had no problems with /dev/mouse being linked to psaux but by default it should be linked to input/mice .

Also make sure the relevant kernel drivers like ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd,ohci_hcd,psmouse are loaded .
Lupu/Luci has got the whole usb drivers built as modules, not sure about sermouse and psmouse .
The actual racy has got many usb modules compiled into the kernel . Also has Xorg-1.11 instead of 1.7 .
I would try that on your old, worn-out hardware
