I just installed FreeBSD 5.3-Beta5 on my Dell Inspiron 7500, which has a synaptics touchpad. I am finding the touchpad to be somewhat unresponsive, particularly under XFree86-4.3. (I would use Xorg, but neither Xorg or XFree86-4.4 work with my video card.) In the end I went into the source code sys/isa/psm.c, and simply commented out the synaptics code, so that FreeBSD thinks that it is a generic mouse. Now it works very much better. Why would the synaptics code be so unresponsive? Do I need to use Xorg, or is it some other issue? Stephen
