Re: touchpad doesn't work under 2.6.0-test1-ac2

Hello all,

First someone pointed me at the driver available through

http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html

I hadn't known about this, but I implemented it. It does not work
for me under either the 2.6.0-test1-ac2 kernel or the kernel I was
using before (2.4.21-pre6).

Output from the startx is:

No joy here, either:

I've attached my XF86Config, which includes commented out remnants of
things I've tried.

Thanks!
