synaptics: Touchpad not working
Last modified: 2008-06-26 20:27:59 UTC
Touchpad not working. Selected from YAST in Mouse Synaptics Touchpad. After reboot it stoped working. USB mouse works fine. Also the CAPS SHIFT and Scroll lk blink in the same time. System: Dell Latitude D830 Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM 160GB HDD NVIDIA Quadro Synaptics Touchpad
Could you do the following? init 3 sax2 -r Then attach /var/log/SaX.log. Thanks.
Created attachment 223620 [details] log file for SaX Here is the log file from Sax.
The SaX logfile is nearly empty. Marcus, what needs to be done to create a useful SaX.log with X config and log file?
The best way is: init 3 sax2 ===> as sax2 is called from the console now it will start a new detection and includes the detection data as well as the generated xorg.conf and xorg log if you continue in the GUI and save the configuration it will also include a diff to the auto xorg.conf and the user changes into the log if sax2 is called from the running server it will read in the xorg.conf and so there will be not much information
Thanks, Marcus. Gherhardt, please do so.

23-Jun 19:32:55 <X> Startup... 23-Jun 19:32:55 <X> [ Startup on already running Server: :0.0 -> grant So you started SaX2 on top of a running Xserver again. Therefore SaX.log is useless again. :-( Can't you do what I asked you to do (see comment #4)?
No, i followed the instructions. I did init 3 from terminal. This killed my X session and then i did sax2. After that i did an init 5 and to get back in gnome to open firefox and send these files. Did i miss something?
This is weird. Ok, in this case, it would be the best to remove xorg.conf before. init 3 rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf sax2 Then attach again /var/log/SaX.log. Hope this time it works better.
This doesn't look like a configuration issue.
After deleting the XOrg file the synaptics touchpad started working. I guess something went wrong at hardware detection when i installed openSuse. Thank you for your help. If you need any additional information please let me know.
Ok. So please finally attach /var/log/SaX.log and the freshly created /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which apparently works for you now.
Created attachment 224669 [details] Newly created SaX log file This is the new SaX log file.
Created attachment 224670 [details] xorg config file And this is the new Xorg file.
In your old xorg.conf "synaptics" was configured as "Corepointer" and the second "synaptics" and "mouse" as "SendCoreEvents". In the new xorg.conf "mouse" is configured as "Corepointer" and one "synaptics" as "SendCoreEvents". Anyway, I think we can close it now as fixed.
