I think this is some kind of build problem. The messages you quote should not even be compiled into the kernel if you disable CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS in the kernel configuration. Also note that this driver needs user space support, see: http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html Also make sure the evdev module is loaded. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
