I have not been following your story, so if someone already pointed this, then I apologize... In my laptop, tpconfig works, but I don't use it. Instead, I use the Synaptics input module for XFree86. Maybe you could give it a go. It lets you define the corners of the trackpad as buttons (e.g. tapping on the upper-left corner is a middle click), and lets you scroll the active window by dragging along the left edge, or with the up and down buttons, if you have them. Is a cute little thing, if you're willing to forgive its binary-only status. In order to use it, however, I had to upgrade to XFree86 4.2. That was painless (there's an apt source in apt-get.org). Then the binary module has to be downloaded (don't remember from where, but Google should tell in a split second) and installed along with the X input modules, and a couple of lines have to be added to XF86Config-4. All of this is documented, but feel free to ask for my config, if you care about it. Hope this helps. -CR
