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.
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.
