Same problem here. Compiled and installed driver (from Chosko). Touchpad stops working after login. Synclient says it's not loaded.
Same problem!Hope to get a solution.Thanks.
Try the following upon login:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse
Works for me.
Thanks much for your help!But it doesn't work for me.Here's the hint.
Smartmatch is experimental at ./xSwipe.pl line 121. Unable to find a synaptics device. Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded? Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled? Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
Have you installed the modified synaptics driver from Chosko?
I just follow the README. Do you mean this?
$ sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libevdev-dev autoconf automake libmtdev-dev xorg-dev xutils-dev libtool $ sudo apt-get remove -y xserver-xorg-input-synaptics $ git clone https://github.com/Chosko/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.git $ cd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --exec_prefix=/usr $ make $ sudo make install
Yes. After that, using modprobe solves the issue for me as I described above. I cannot help you further than that. :-(
OK.Anyway, I really appreciate for your help and patience!
For some machines, this will likely be linked to libinput. Several distros are moving away from synaptics drivers, and are starting to use libinput instead. I have the same issue on fedora 24, and I think it's because fedora no longer uses synaptics drivers, they use libinput instead. Not sure if xSwipe is compatible with libinput yet.
I upgrade my system to Ubuntu 14.04.1 and problem solved!
My system is Ubuntu 14.04, when I run 'perl xSwipe.pl', it shows like this:
I doubt maybe something wrong with the touchpad driver. When input
xinput list
and it shows:
