Compare yours with mine and you'll see that instead of the usual id = 14 yours is 11.

Other than making sure that kde-config-touchpad and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics are install I don't know what else you can do.

Jerry, mine's also 11. There is no standard numbering scheme for X input devices.

My guess is that Devil's UDEV isn't detecting the touchpad as a touchpad, and thus X isn't assigning the proper driver. That's why I wanted to see the entire UDEV database export -- at the moment, I feel we're back to square one in troubleshooting this.

That's weird...your Udev database shows no input devices at all.

I'm not exactly sure where to continue troubleshooting at this point. Although X shows you have a touchpad, because Udev isn't finding it, X is configuring it with a basic mouse driver.

You might need to take your question over to the Ubuntu forums, because the problem you're experiencing appears unrelated to KDE. I'm sorry that I've run out of ideas for you...

Taking Steve's advice I found this over on the Ubuntu forum:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502560
You will want to read post #3.

Also, you might try this:


xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 1

which I got from this tutorial on Synaptics Touchpad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad

[eXtremeDevil]

I did step one of that third post and I got this error when I typed "sudo fspc": FSP not found.

About that line, xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 1, do I need to put it like that or do I have to modify something?

Thanks.

[GreyGeek]

Just open a Konsole.
You may have to put "sudo " in front of it.

[eXtremeDevil]

That's what I do, look:

1 - Open Konsole.
2 - Type "sudo fspc", without the "".
3 - Type my password.
4 - Get the ERROR: FSP NOT FOUND.

Look at these errors when I install the latest kernels (.deb extensions):

Suspicious... I feel like I'm close to solve the problem...
