Following up.... reading http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee under "Touchpad (synaptics) configuration" it says: - - Disable moused in rc.conf - - Add hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 to loader.conf - - pkg_add -r synaptics and edit Xorg.conf according to synaptic's pkg-message I think the package information is out of date. I see no synaptics package. Likely candidates include: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics x11/libsynaptics x11/gsynaptics Only the latter seems to have a pkg-message. I tried that. It (and about 50 other packages) installed cleanly. I altered the mouse input device in /etc/X11/xorg/conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" # Driver "mouse" Driver "synaptics" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection and made the changes contained within/usr/ports/x11/gsynaptics/pkg-message: - - /etc/rc.conf - - /boot/loader.conf - - downside of that is I get no cursor on the console reboot. I see this output from sysctl: hw.psm.synaptics.directional_scrolls: 1 hw.psm.synaptics.low_speed_threshold: 20 hw.psm.synaptics.min_movement: 2 hw.psm.synaptics.squelch_level: 3 I ran gsynaptics and unchecked "enable tapping". I can still tap. Restarted X. Can still tap. I wonder if the init process is failing, because if I run this from the console, I get: $ gsynaptics-init (gsynaptics-init:1097): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: - -- Dan Langille BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference : http://www.bsdcan.org/ PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference: http://www.pgcon.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkoO5XoACgkQCgsXFM/7nTwOCACfXdcu5cr2KOsOyfrS+yXvPtBq k7MAniS97+EPIvcJ35GhV80MH3UbCPNX =+8ye -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
