It does. Your touchpad is a synaptic-touchpad.
The interesting part of dmesg is this:
#####################
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
Firmware: 4.6
Sensor: 19
new absolute packet format
Touchpad has extended capability bits
-> multifinger detection
-> palm detection
input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1
#####################################
I have also such a thing. I attached my /etc/X11/XF86Config
The most intersting part for you is the first entry for the input
devices.
It starts with:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
[...]
Another important thing is the section "Server layout".
Here you have to add/change the entry for your touchpad.
For mine it's
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout[all]"
InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" <--
InputDevice "Mouse[2]" "SendCoreEvents" <-- these two entries
Screen "Screen[0]"
EndSection
Try whether you can do the changes on your own, otherwise mail me
your /etc/X11/XF86Config
And don't forget to make a copy of your XF86Config before editing. Have a lot of
fun! Tobias
