You need to differentiate between "works in console mode" and "works in X". For the console mode, normal mouse functions will be available, but typically Synaptics-specific things are not supported. Technically, it is represented as a PS/2 mouse (psm), but with extended touchpad features. For X, you only need hw.psm.synaptics_support="1" in /boot/loader.conf. For the scolling feature, add hw.psm.synaptics.vscroll_hor_area=1300 to /etc/sysctl.conf. There are a few other settings that you can tweak: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SynapticsTouchpad However, don't bother with console mode and moused. There is also the suggestion of using a partial xorg.conf entry. While the Wiki mentions /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you'd better use some file like /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf with the content as suggested: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Then start X and examine /var/log/Xorg.0.log for suspicious entries. Having the Wiki entry match the _current_ way of making the Synaptics touchpad work would be great. > Debug shows always the same data, the mouse pointed does not move. I assume you're using moused's debugging feature? Forget about moused and console. :-) > Without Synaptics enabled it works fine. Correct, because now it's a "normal mouse". -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
