[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#562052: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: does not work anymore

[Michael Tokarev]

I've similar prob here too.

Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 6.2, id: 0x1280b1, caps: 0xa04713/0x204000

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=12b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input7
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse1 event7
B: EV=b

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input'
  info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
  info.callouts.add = {'debian-setup-keyboard'} (string list)
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keys', 'button'} (string list)
  info.category = 'input'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port'  (string)
  info.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event7'  (string)
  input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port'  (string)
  input.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'evdev'  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event7'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input7/event7'  (string)


So hal does not list 'input.touchpad' in capabilities and
hence assigns evdev driver instead of synaptics.

Manually setting input.x11_driver property to synaptics
with hal-set-property restores synaptics functionality.

In 0.5.13 it worked ok.
Kernels tried are 2.6.31 or 2.6.32
