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.


(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.14.6 (1406)
Touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 18 nodes)
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
(**) Option "SHMConfig" "on"
(**) Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
(**) Option "RightEdge" "5300"
(**) Option "TopEdge" "1700"
(**) Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
(**) Option "FingerLow" "25"
(**) Option "FingerHigh" "30"
(**) Option "MaxTapTime" "40"
(**) Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
(**) Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Touchpad"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"

Where am I going wrong?
