Out of interest did you remember to re-emerge libsynaptics and synaptics? It could be the route of your problems Also I think the r300-driver overlay has been replaced with the x11 overlay If not it could be worth testing the auto detect feature of xorg-server Mike <div>On 16/08/07, Marek Wawrzyczny <<a href="mailto:marekw1977@yahoo.com.au">marekw1977@yahoo.com.au</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, I am a Gentoo user and have installed xorg-server-1.3.99 (and other components) from the r300-driver overlay. X works great but my Alps touchpad stopped working. I am hoping someone might point me in the right direction here. I can plug in my USB mouse which works fine, but the Alps touchpad does not send any events (I've checked all devices under /dev/input/...). It does however wake up the display.
