Still no trackpad.

I have a Pismo here. It has a trackpad. The trackpad works, both in gpm and in XF4, with the new input layer stuff. Both programs are set to use protocol "IMPS/2". Both programs use /dev/mouse, which is a symlink to /dev/input/mice, which is a device with major 13 minor 63. Your problem after disabling the new input layer is most likely because /dev/mouse is still a symlink to the new input layer device; you can't have it both ways. If the precompiled kernel doesn't work that suggests there's something wrong in your configuration, like your /dev setup or the protocol that X and gpm are expecting or the device X and gpm are reading from. -Hollis ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
