https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241384 Bug ID: 241384 Summary: Synaptics touchpad not working right under 12.1-RC2 Product: Base System Version: 12.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kumba@gentoo.org Gave FreeBSD 12.1-RC2 a test on my laptop. Under 12.0-RELEASE-p10, in an X11 session, the Synaptics touchpad on the laptop behaves as is expected of a touchpad device. Under 12.1-RC2, however, the touchpad is significantly slower (almost like acceleration is turned off), and clicking the button requires first moving the cursor with the touchpad. e.g., if one moves the cursor, the next click will register, but clicks after that will not register unless the cursor is moved again, or the cursor is moved while holding the button down. I tried tweaking a few of the sysctl variables, but I am not seeing any noticeable change in behavior. Seems like the way the device is being polled is incorrect. This is all dmesg says: psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 3 My Xorg config for the touchpad is taken directly from the handbook: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Touchpad0" Driver "synaptics" Option "Protocol" "psm" Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" EndSection And then in "ServerLayout": InputDevice "Touchpad0" "SendCoreEvents" I am running a custom kernel. It looks like the 12.1 GENERIC config adds evdev support to legacy drivers (options EVDEV_SUPPORT), but I am not seeing /dev/input/event* device nodes being created by anything. Some Google-searching indicates that the webcamd module is the only thing that will create and populate /dev/input with event cdves right now, however I want all webcam support disabled, so I can't test evdev to see if it works better than the classic synaptics driver. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
