I just saw I made a misstype: I use 2.6.24 from testing, not 2.6.14 as I said. Regards, Chris On 27/01/2008, CiM-9 <cimnine@gmail.com> wrote:
I'm using now Kernel 2.6.14 - and the synaptics still don't work as expected. I've attached some infos, maybe they're usefull to help me. I have no idea what to try next.
The 2.6.14 Kernel I installed: Was this a released one or a rc? Because the new appletouch is only included in kernel >= 2.6.14-rc8.

The gentoo-wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/Macbook#Touchpad) provides a patch to fix this issue, but I just don't know how to apply this.
That Wiki Says: The appletouch driver of kernel <=2.6.24_rc8 doesn't recognize the 3rd Generation MacBook Touchpad.
Why don't you try the 2.6.24 kernel from testing?
