Hi,

my Synaptics touchpad doesn't work on FreeBSD 200710 amd64. I've add

hw.psm.synaptics_support=1

to my /boot/loader.conf and I've compiled x11-drivers/synaptics and
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse.

My dmesg says:

psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0
kldload: Unsupported file type
kldload: Unsupported file type

Xorg says:

Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 10 nodes)
Synaptics Touchpad The /dev/input/event* device nodes seem to be missing
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: No Device specified.
Synaptics driver unable to open device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics Touchpad"

The touchpad worked fine on FreeBSD 200710 i386. Does anybody know what to do?

Best greetings
Thomas
