Wether you use it or not, with the current kernel patch set, there will be no modifications to do in xf86-input-synaptics. Legacy versions will work just fine and the trackstick/touchpads are seen like they were in the past (lik ein the thinkpads t410 .. t430). So I would advice to just revert to whatever Xorg / xf86-input-synaptics / configuration you had from your distribution, apply the patches (or wait for 4.0-rc5), and you are done. > - how can I have the BIOS setting respected by the psmouse/synaptics > kernel module (like when using psmouse) I was confused at first so I double checked. If you use the psmouse.proto=imps boot parameter, then the bios setting is respected. If the trackpad is enabled, it is barely usable, but that's what you get :) > > Thanks for your patchset anyway, and regards, Thanks for your testings.
