Description:
Since updating linux package from version 3.12.6-1-x86_64 to 3.12.8-1-x86_64 my touchpad doesn't work.
I have HP ProBook 6570b with synaptics touchpad.
I can still work with external mouse attached.

It seems the touchpad is not found at all. In versions until 3.12.6-1-x86_64 the touchpad was found and working with default settings.


Attachements:
dmesg
/proc/bus/input/devices
xinput
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
synclient

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade to linux 3.12.8-1-x86_64 with HP ProBook 6570b
This task depends upon

works with 3.13? If not, please report to upstream. There is nothing to do here. Thanks.

Yes, it works in 3.13. I haven't used 3.13 since it's still testing and some packages (e.g. virtualbox) are not available for it.

OK, lets close it.
