Synaptics driver not loading after kernel upgrade
 

I had the synaptics driver working fine using kernel 19 in slackware 12. I had gone to 19 because I could not get my laptop to boot on 21 with smp on my laptop.

Now I am trying a 23 kernel and I have lost synaptics support. I have recompiled synaptics and (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2) and (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) are enabled as modules.

The log shows.

Where am I going wrong?
