Synaptics Multitouch doesn't work

[geminga]

Hello people,

first of all, excuse me for my "buggy" english

I'm trying to get my Synaptics-Touchpad work but it just won't. There are no blue links in Google anymore, because all of them are purple and already read by me -.-
I will just give you the outputs of some commands I learned while working on this. I'm not a professional Linux user, it started 3 weeks ago.
I think the main problem is that the OS doesn't recognize the Touchpad as a Synaptics-Touchpad, but ImPS/2 wheel mouse -.- I don't have the skills to fix this for my own.
I changed my xorg.conf maybe 50 times, but i didn't work. Prebaked xorg snippets will not work, too. Help me pls

So, here we go.

xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is installed and with dmesg | grep Synaptics there is no output.

Thanks

I'm not going to be of much help but I will throw a couple of things out until someone with some expertise shows up:

I have a Synaptics touchpad and is indicated as SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad when I run xinput list, is this how you determined yours is detected as a ImPS2 wheel mouse?

Running lsmod to determine any mouse or touchpad related modules that are in use all I receive from lsmod | grep "mou\|syn\|Syn" is psmouse 44653 0

When I check modprobe to see what modules/drivers are in the kernel, modprobe -l | grep "mous\|syna\|Syna" I receive

Code: Select all

dawgdoc-lmd@dv6000-laptop-lmd ~ $ /sbin/modprobe -l | grep "mous\|syna\|Syna"

kernel/drivers/input/mouse/appletouch.ko
kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko

(I added the /sbin/ in front of modprobe because I am using LMDE and have not modified $PATH)

The lines from that output that probably matter are

Code: Select all

kernel/drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_i2c.ko

I do not know if these two modules are significant or not

THIS post and the one two below it have links to, mostly ubuntu, sites for configuring and debugging ALPS and Synaptics touchpads. But you may have already seen the linked pages during your google searching.
