Synaptics touchpad under Xorg lives again
by bigpresh on Feb.12, 2009, under Linux, System Administration
I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop running Arch Linux, and recently, after an update, the Synaptics touchpad stopped working.
The touchpad shows up in dmesg as:
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 6.3, id: 0x180b1, caps: 0xa04713/0x200000 input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input7
I was using a USB mouse until I found time to get the touchpad working again. Here’s what I had to do…
