Hi list:
I've been using appletouch with my pbook12" touchpad and with driver
synaptics for a long time. I used it with my own compiled kernels from
kernel.org.
Since I decided to give a try to the official kernels in etch (now I'm
using 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11 + xserver-xorg 1:7.1.0-12) I have noticed that I
do not have support for the synaptics extensions.
Xserver-xorg boot time messages (relevant part only) are:
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
(II) Module synaptics: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.2.0, module version = 1.0.0
...
Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 10 nodes)

My synapctics conf is this one:

EndSection
My problem is that this configuration worked with my own compiled kernels
but not now with the official one.
I've checked that evdev and psmouse are loaded, but still no
/dev/input/event* devices appear:
$ ls -l /dev/input/

Any idea about what can be happening?
Thanks
