Touchpad Works But Mouse Fails
I now see that Sax2 shows only two input devices,
the keyboard and one mouse - the synaptics touchpad. It does not detect the PS/2 Mouse connected on the six pin PS/2 port at boot time which indicates that plug & play fails. What should I do ? TIA |
Post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to see if it setup for multiple input devices.

Well, I'd like to but my USB memory stick isn't probed eventhough its light is on! So I can't copy and post :-{
I renamed my xorg.conf to xorg99.conf and StartX failed to load which is what I expected. Next I renamed xorg back to xorg.conf and commented out every input device in the server layout section except the keyboard thinking that that would kill the access to the touchpad. It didn't which surprised me. So somehow the Synaptics touchpad is active while its server layout line is commented out as well as its InputDevice section. SaX2 shows no mice at all, yet the touchpad works! So I would say the touchpad is certainly probed and made available to the kernel and GNOME without an entry in the xorg.conf file. How, I don't know. Any assistance is appreciated. |
Are you using Suse 10.2? The new Xorg doesn't put everything in the xorg.conf. Some things seem to work without it. I still haven't found where the settings go.
I had a problem with the display on my laptop, which stuck at 1024x768, despite the entry in xorg.conf being for 1280x800, and this even showed in SaX2, the KDE Personal Settings tool. I had to install 915resolution and write a script to set it, and then the correct settings appeared in KDE. It may be that XOrg isn't probing the PS/2 socket. |
Ok then here is mine. Notice the the top mention corepointer alwayscore.
