Description:
Since I updated my Xorg-server to version 1.5RC6 (currently in testing), the synaptics thouchpad-driver doesn't work.
The thouchpad works with xf86-input-synaptics.

package version(s):
testing/xorg-server 1.4.99.906-2
extra/synaptics 0.14.6.99-2
testing/xf86-input-synaptics 0.15.0-1

I can confirm it.

this is from the xorg logfile.

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -e synaptics

I was wondering why there are two slashes:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//synaptics_drv.so

Is it possible that's the problem?

I tried to rebuild synaptics against xorg-server 1.5RC6 with the PKGBUILD from ABS but it fails.

On the synaptics homepage thez say xf86-input-synaptics is a newer version of synaptics
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/

So I think xf86-input-synaptics will replace synaptics in the future.
Am I right?

Yes xf86-input-synaptics is now included in Xorg.
I'm using xorg from x86_64 testing and this is my configuration for it:

xorg.conf:
=========
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection


Section "Module"
Load "evdev"
Load "GLcore"
Load "xtrap"
Load "synaptics"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"

Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection

I don't use other options, because defaults are suitable for me.

Why do you want to use synaptics? I didn't put a replaces line for nothing in xf86-input-synaptics for nothing. The original synaptics project became an official X.Org driver.

> The original synaptics project became an official X.Org driver.

I didn't know that.
First I thought synaptics and xf86-input-synaptics are two different drivers.
