Sometimes (randomly), the synaptics touchpad driver won't load on bootup. When reading /var/log/boot.log
, i don't see anything touchpad-driver-like being started when this happens.
But the file /dev/input/mouse0
exists and I can perform simple actions with my mousepad (pointing, clicking, but no scrolling) and the pointer speed is very low when moving it via the touchpad.
When typing synclient
into terminal while this is happening, it tells me Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
Whats the problem here?
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
. So i doubt it will have an effect.input-mouse
ansinput-synaptics
. But I can only tell after a few days whether it worked.sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-input-synaptics && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
. Purging is needed to remove malconfiguration.
