Comment 35 for bug 191024

FriedChiken,

lshal on mly system sees this

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.mouse', 'input.touchpad'} (string list)
  info.category = 'input' (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
  info.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input' (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event7' (string)
  input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
  input.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event7' (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input' (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7/event7' (string)

tpconfig -i gives:

Found Synaptics Touchpad.
Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).
Sensor type: unknown (0).
Geometry: rectangular/landscape/up.
Packets: absolute, 80 packets per second.
Corner taps disabled; no tap gestures.
Edge motion: none.
Z threshold: 6 of 7.
2 button mode; corner tap is right button click.

and the only remedy was to change modprobe's options as I said. Before that, /proc/bus/input/devices could not see it as a touchpad.

Do you have any file named psmouse* in /etc/modprobe.d?
