Freebsd-7.1 X11 - Synaptics amd64 - newbie

armandrix · #1 January 20th, 2009, 04:24

Hi everybody !!

I'm linux user and decide to give a try to Freebsd into my notebook, an aspire-5102wlmi, so I took a 14GB partition and installed it a week ago.

"Uau.. it's fast"

almost every thing just went fine until X-11. (my ati xpress 200m is using radeon driver, by Xorg -configure. soon will try out 3d).

The annoying issue is the touchpad, it's just lazy and sticking, after I follow some directions to configure it out.

I did:

- pkg_add synaptics
- disabled mouse daemon
- loader.conf -> hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"
- rc.conf -> enable_moused="no"
- pkg_add ksynaptics (wich doesn't work w/o shm)

then, the rest of this week i was trying on xorg.conf:

- synaptics corepointer
- no mouse entry
- psm0 port driver
- protocol: psm, auto-dev
- shm: on, off (seems to make no difference)
- many options on/off i.e. tapping, borders, etc

I googled a lot, read the related parts of handbook and edited xorg.conf hundreds of times, based on many directions but always the same.

Some xorg.log:
- fcntl(9, O_async): inapropriate ioctl for device
or pages of:
- synaptics and sync issues

So, my question is: Can anyone tell me where i can find some tutorial for synaptics and amd-64 ??

or post one ???

thanks in advance

In /boot/loader.conf add these lines:
#Synaptics Touchpad
hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"
debug.psm.loglevel="4"

Here my xorg.conf in case which may play some role:

Code:

....

This is certainly not a tutorial, but i fix the same problem reading (xorg.conf)'s.Maybe helps.

************ uau ++++++++++

yeah! i forgot the "load synaptics", redone and it start to work..

without tapping or scrolling but it's now in use..

thanks...

really couldn't catch the difference but that xorg.conf with that "load" section brought it at servicing way..

that's a lot for me .. tx again

armandrix · #7 January 21st, 2009, 16:25

Freebsd have many things really different from linux, and I must be aware of all of them..

The case is..

After an complete reboot, synaptics is working perfect with this xorg.conf.

Now, again, thank you
