I'm noticing:
evdev.c(EVIOCGBIT): Suspicious buffer size 511, limiting output to 64
bytes. See http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/eviocgbit-bug.html
with rc-3 not with rc2.
Did the patch to synaptics, seems
my xorg is not reading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o
only /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
is there any easy fix, or do I have to recompile xorg?
regards;

(cc's added)

You can just copy the updated file manually into
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/.

I tried rebuilding synaptics from here:

git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics

but unfortunately it fails with some automake crap that I don't have
time to trace through at the moment.
