In tryping to get my Synaptics touchpad working I notice the following
statement at
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html#TroubleShoot :
How do I use this driver with Linux kernel 2.6.x?
You need to have the "evdev" driver loaded or compiled into the
kernel (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV). Set the "Protocol" parameter in the X
configuration file to "auto-dev". Also, if you set the "Device"
parameter to "/dev/psaux", the same X configuration file should work
for a 2.4.x kernel.
Is this true?
lsmod | grep evdev displays nothing. Does this mean that I am not
running this driver? Do I need to recompile the kernel to get it? (I
can't believe that people are recompiling to kernel to get this common
type of touchpad working).
Frank.
