I am trying to make the synaptics touchpad work on fedora. I am following the instructions on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Apple_MacBook/ The first problem is that some modules (mousedev, usbhid and evdev) are compiled builtin. Why?. I compiled a custom kernel with them as modules. To force the order in which they are loaded, I added the following line to modprobe.conf: install mousedev /sbin/modprobe usbhid && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install mousedev install usbhid /sbin/modprobe appletouch && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install usbhid install appletouch /sbin/modprobe evdev && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install appletouch install evdev /sbin/modprobe uhci_hcd && /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install evdev Is there a better way to do it? Unfortunately, X still can't find the synaptics: Query no Synaptics: 6003C8 (EE) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware. (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics Touchpad" I will try to upgrade the synaptics driver. Does anyone has another suggestion?
