I am trying to make the synaptics touchpad work on fedora. I am
following the instructions on
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Apple_MacBook/
The first problem is that some modules (mousedev, usbhid and evdev)
are compiled builtin. Why?. I compiled a custom kernel with them as
modules.
Works for me with the stock Fedora kernels on my PowerBook. There's no
need for fiddling around with /etc/modprobe.conf. Is your touchpad
working without synaptics, or more specifically is the appletouch module
getting loaded?
Unfortunately, X still can't find the synaptics:
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics Touchpad"
Do you have chosen the right device? Here are the relevant portions of
my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
...
InputDevice "Mouse0"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
...
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
...
EndSection
