From your Xorg log I assume that > it is either "event", "auto-dev" or not set at all. I just ran into the same problem. In xorg.conf I explicitly told the synaptics driver to use "psm" and "/dev/psm0", but the error message would suggest that it uses "event". Also, I tried to change the source code of the synaptics driver (synaptics.c) and hard-coded "psm" as the only driver, no matter what xorg.conf says. Synaptics still would not start, but this time complaining that no device was specified. Please note that I had "Device" in my xorg.conf, but the error suggests that the driver ignored it. It almost seems that no matter what options I pass to synaptics, it does not receive them. Is it possible that Xorg's option retrieval functions have changed making the (relatively) old synaptics unusable?home | help
