Comment 42 for bug 1315360

I'm on Linux Mint 17.3, have tried 13.3, 13.4, 13.7, 4.2.0

Same error on every kernel:

I was able to install the hid patched driver on kernel 13.14 I beleive, but no positive effect.

Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

I can't beleive I'm actually considering dumping Mint on a new expensive gaming laptop because TRACKPAD support is completely gone... Here's some more data in case it can help you help me. This is on the latest kernel I tried, the latest 13.16 kernel.

tpconfig -i
Could not open PS/2 Port [/dev/psaux].

Found Synaptics Touchpad.
Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).
Sensor type: unknown (0).

synclient ClickPad=0
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
(always, every kernel does the same thing here from what I've seen)

This is on the 2014 Razer Blade 14" model, no touchscreen.

Thanks for any help you can offer here!
