Instead a Generic PS/2 Mouse is detected. Because of this not the synaptics driver but evdev is loaded. I don't have a xorg.conf but let X11 detect everything. When I hibernate the computer and restart from hibernation, the Touchpad is detected correct and the synaptics driver is loaded. Workaround: When I add the kernel boot options "i8042.reset i8042.nomux" the synaptics driver is correctly loaded at boot time and does work. If I then do suspend instead of hibernate and restart, an error is reported in Xorg.0.log and the Touchpad is recognized as a Generic Mouse. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the computer. 2. Look into Xorg.0.log or list device names with cat /proc/bus/devices/input|grep ^N: 3. See Generic PS/2 Mouse instead of Touchpad. Actual Results: Generic PS/2 Mouse Expected Results: ALPS/2 Touchpad -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
