If you want to use synaptics, the instructions in the port are still correct I think. Everything that I have right now is GlidePoint, but... Essentially, you want to disable moused_enable=3D"NO" (the default) set the loader.conf tuneable and statically configure the touchpad in xorg.conf to use /dev/psm0 and driver "synaptics" . This wil not be ignored by X, as it only ignores devices using kbd,mouse, or vmmouse drivers. Additional mice can be added either via config or hald depending on your settings for AllowEmptyInput and/or AutoAddDevices. robert. > I've also went ahead and tried recompiling Xorg without hal support and o= n reboot my laptop freezes > the minute it see's the console login screen.
