Hi,
I've checked the man pages, Google, and the recent "synaptics
touchpad" threads in -current without joy.
I have a laptop with a Synaptics touchpad beneath the space bar and a
pointer nubbin in the middle of the keyboard. For a year or so, both
have worked. As of -current a couple months ago, it worked. With
last night's -current, however, the nubbin has stopped working.
The good news is, the touchpad works, so I have some sort of pointing
device. The bad news is, I find touchpads icky and really, really
miss my pointer nubbin. (Removing my hands from the home row while
writing really clashes with my working style.) How can I get it
working again?
My mouse now shows up as:
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0
previously, it was:
Aug 12 05:23:04 ratbastard kernel: psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
Aug 12 05:23:04 ratbastard kernel: psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
Aug 12 05:23:04 ratbastard kernel: psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
==ml
