Please try git master. There was a problem with the DAC setup on
RS4xx chips in 6.9.0. I may roll a 6.9.1 soon to pickup the fallout
from 6.9.0 testing.

Should be no functional changes between 1.99.1 and this, just blessing it.
Adam Jackson (3):
Remove unused ->device
Un-duplicate some init code.

I'm using xserver-xorg version 1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu12 (the ubuntu
developing version) but also Hardy version
(1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9.2)
how can I see if the driver gets connected through evdev?
Thank you

The problem is that the touchpad is getting assigned a different number
after reconnecting.
This can be fixed by the following (suggested by Stefan Monnier):
1 - use a udev rule so that the touchpad is always available as
/dev/input/touchpad:
kernel=="event*", DRIVERS=="synaptics-usb", SYMLINK+="input/touchpad"
2 - Force the synaptics driver to use that special device name:
Option "Device" "/dev/input/touchpad"
You might need to adapt the DRIVERS line if your touchpad is not USB.

Not that I know of. It seems that your touchpad is just "trying to be
smart", so that it avoids having the mouse jump when the second finger
touches down.
