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.
Regards,
Vadim Garber

More info on the laptop mfgr/series/model and the touchpad
type? Which input modules do you have, compiled in or as
modules?

laptop: Compaq Presario 3190 (US), touchpad is an alps
ps/2 protocol pad, and I've compiled the psmouse as a
module (but I have also tried compiling it into the kernel).
I've also patched the kernel with the alps patch as directed.

Definitely not. This is a driver for a PCI PS/2 controller so far found
only in a Mobility Electronic docking station.

Ok, I'll just go sit in a corner and shut up. :)
Anyway, FWIW, my kernel configuration in those wereabouts is as
follows:
#
# Input device support
#
CONFIG_INPUT=y
#
# Userland interfaces
#
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1600
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=1200
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_TSDEV is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m
# CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG is not set
#
# Input I/O drivers
#
# CONFIG_GAMEPORT is not set
CONFIG_SOUND_GAMEPORT=y
CONFIG_SERIO=y
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y
CONFIG_SERIO_SERPORT=y
# CONFIG_SERIO_CT82C710 is not set
# CONFIG_SERIO_PARKBD is not set
CONFIG_SERIO_PCIPS2=m
#
# Input Device Drivers
#
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SUNKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_LKKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_XTKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_NEWTON is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
Hope this helps the OP ...
