See http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/eviocgbit-bug.html with rc-3 not with rc2. Did the patch to synaptics, seems my xorg is not reading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o only /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so is there any easy fix, or do I have to recompile xorg? regards; -- Justin P.

I tried rebuilding synaptics from here: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics but unfortunately it fails with some automake crap that I don't have time to trace through at the moment. -- Dmitry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

What I did was copy /usr/lib/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ then renamed it to synaptics_drv.so the module loads but is broken. When given time today I'll try and reinstall, and see if I can get it working. -- Justin P. Mattock ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
