I don't think so, anyway, some more useful info are: - cat /proc/bus/input/devices - ls -l /dev/input/event* - try to cat /dev/input/event4 (or a different one if it has changed across a reboot) and see if it spits garbage when you move your finger on the touchpad - send a log of 'startx -- -logverbose 8' Thanks -- mattia :wq! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
