Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello, I've compiled the 2.6.6 kernel, and I can't seem to get my laptops touchpad to get detected. The touchpad runs on the ps/2 protocol; so it seems like there would be no problems with detection. But of course I'm not a very lucky person ;-). The touchpad itself does have an on/off botton; and I've made sure to keep it ON. This is a strange problem because I don't seem to have it in older kernels (2.4.x). Cat'ing /proc/bus/input/devices also doesn't turn up any useful information; just returns my keyboard (which works; yepi!). I've compiled psmouse both into the kernel and as a module; both don't work. dmesg only shows "mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice" but no 'input:' line.
