I'm actualy using the track point which is also driven by the psmodule. I've been wondering if there is a way to actualy turn of the /dev/input/eventn for the touchpad. It might even be possible to turn it off in xorg.conf in configuration for the evdev but I don't want to bother about xorg.conf anymore if there is a hotplug way to work with it. mk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
