X.org Problem: Synaptic Toucpad

Hello everyone!
Thanks for the helps before, and I hope that my current problem is something which is in your reach, as it is out of mine.

So I've installed all the X.org programs, including all the dependencies, set up all the proper modules for the kernel. My problem is setting up the Synaptic to be ran on the X server.

As I ran the X -retro -config ~/xorg.conf.new command, the grey screen and the movable 'X' cursor did appear, but I could not quit by pressing Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace, forcing me to press Ctrl+Alt+F2 instead (to move to another 'tty').

When I went back to the 'tty' where the X was, the grey screen was gone, leaving text like some program was running, forcing me to press Ctrl+C to interrupt the running.

I noticed the log was showing some errors:

Code:

(EE) ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics

(EE) PreInit failed for input device "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"

(EE) ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad no synaptics event device found

(EE) Query no Synaptics: 6003C8

I wonder, I did set up the xorg.conf.new properly like this:

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"

....

    InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"

....

EndSection



....



Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier "Touchpad"

    Driver "synaptics"

    Option "Protocol" "Auto"

    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"

    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"

EndSection



....

Anyone got a clue?

Hi,

The following addition to your xorg.conf file (the bold part) should fix the ctrl-alt-backspace problem:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier  "Keyboard0"

    Driver      "kbd"

    Option      "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

EndSection

This is new behaviour in the new X version and it doesn't allow you to use ctrl-alt-backspace out of the box.

I don't have any experience with touchpads and thus have never set it up in a BLFS X environment. I'll have a better look when time permits, maybe I see something you haven't tried already.

Anyway, hope this partially helps.

The "ctrl_alt_bksp" option you gave me doesn't seems to work, I wonder if something is missing.
Also, I notice that the '/dev/pts' cannot be mounted at the startup, does this have anything to do?

Thanks!

Hi,

Did you run into any problems during the build of 23. X Window System Environment?

Can you post the simple, unmodified xorg.conf.new file that is created? I.e. Only using these steps (as root, after removing possible leftovers):

Code:

cd ~ &&

Xorg -configure

X -retro -config ~/xorg.conf.new

After starting/stopping can you also post the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log (ctrl-alt-bksp isn't yet working, so you do need to kill X using another tty).

Hope this helps.

Here is the brand new generated configuration file of ~/xorg.conf.new if you expect it:

Code:

The changes I made were nothing more than changing the Driver to synaptics and playing around with the Identifier name (don't worry about this, I double-checked so it matches the InputDevice name); all done around the mouse section.

Hi again,

Before I start looking at the posted info: Is the output posted related? I.e. Was the output posted in post #7 generated by starting the config file posted in post #6? I'm asking because it doesn't look to be....

I'm trying to establish if X runs without any (major) errors when only using that what is picked up automatically (no manual changes).

You might try to add the Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" I mentioned in post #2, but nothing else.

Indeed it was. Is there anything wrong with these two?

Anyway, I've been thinking: is there anything to do in $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xorg.conf.d?

Hi,

The output posted mentions a 29 August 2011 build date and has the (EE) Query no Synaptics: 6003C8 error present. Looks to me this output does not belong to the xorg.conf.new file posted in post #6.

I wouldn't start tinkering with it until you have an idea what is wrong.

Well, the August 29 was the date when I recompile my kernel. The real date is above (line #5).

Hi,

Code:

[ 13231.001] Current Operating System: Linux kennohan-lfs 2.6.37 #1 SMP Wed Aug 31 03:08:26 WIT 2011 i686

Kernel build date.

Code:

[ 13231.006] Build Date: 29 August 2011 05:21:17AM

X build date.

I assumed the second block would reflect the xorg.conf date (which is not true).

But besides that, hoe about my second observation. This part:

Code:

As mentioned in the top of the Xorg log file: All lines that have ** in them are taken from the xorg.conf file and this is _NOT_ present in post number #6!!

Hi again

Give this config file a try:

Changes are bold.

- Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
Should get rid of the following messages:

Code:

[ 13231.036] (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.

[ 13231.036] (WW) Disabling Mouse0

[ 13231.036] (WW) Disabling Keyboard0

- Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
This should give you ctrl-alt-bksp.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much! I'll try that a bit later, as I'm busy right now.

druuna,
Here is the result of what you told me. Before that, I'd like to thank you for your helps.

I've cut out some unneeded stuff from the log, leaving the basic system information, some basic module loading information, and the details about the touchpad loading. Notice that the touchpad was added twice; I think this is the main cause of this error. Does that help?

For post #12:
Yeah now that you mention it, it looks kinda weird... Perhaps it comes from the xorg.conf.d.
