Bug#578148: Re. new synaptics-related errors in X log

["Hans-J. Ullrich" <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

I have a similar logfile with a probably related problem.

Please allow me to describe:

During the last days I discovered a strange behavior. When I boot up, neither 
kdm, xdm or gdm will start automatically at boot. 

But: When I start them manually, for example using "/etc/init.d/kdm restart", 
then kdm (gdm/xdm) is started fine, and everything works perfectly. I examined 
the log files at the crash, but the only strange thing I saw in Xorg.log was 
this:

---

(II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad 
(/dev/input/event9)
(**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "evdev touchpad catchall"
(**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "touchpad catchall"
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.2
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event9"
(--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: no supported touchpad found
(EE) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.

(EE) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.

------

I am still searching, which part of the system is responsible for this 
behaviour. The suspicious ones for me are

xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
xorg 
udev
xserver-xorg-input-evdev

So please help me, so that I can report to the correct maintainer team. 
All login managers are proven NOT to be responsible, as the same behaviour 
appears with any of them: kdm, gdm and xdm.

When I start kdm (gdm/xdm) manually, the above mentioned messages related to 
the failure of Synaptics driver do not appear!

Thank you very much for reading this mail and please, be so kind and point me 
to the correct maintainer team.

Thank you very much!

Best regards
