hello wayne
it stays the same and doesn't work ;(
(just the "No Device specified" messages disappear in the Xorg.0.log)
thanks, julian
Julian here is my entire xorg.conf see if you can find the answers
here:
One of the things to check is to make sure you have the InputDevice
"Mouse0"
"CorePointer" setup correctly. I am not 100% sure but I think both are
needed
for the touch pad to work. Let me know how your testing goes. I will
look at
some items myself.
