The problem I have is that after booting, my Synaptics touchpad simply reverts back to IntelliMouse-Scroll PS/2 emulation mode. When I tried to "fix" this, by altering the psm.c code, it detected properly as a synaptics device but I lost the use of my scroll-pad region. Anyhow, I'm rebuilding my kernel... let's wee how this works. -- Coleman Kane
