Does anybody remember if it worked better on (way) old OSes? How many different types of touchpads were used on XO-1s? >From a b3: psmouse serio1: OLPC touchpad revision 0x28 >From a c2: psmouse serio1: OLPC touchpad revision 0x50 I assume that version number is referring to the hardware since both of those boxes are running os140py. I can confirm that the old/b3 unit works much much better than the newer c2 one. "Too sensitive" is only half of the description. It matches one of my problems which is that I can't lift my finger up to use it to click a button because the cursor slithers away from where I had positioned it. But the other problem is that the cursor doesn't move when I move my finger. I'm probably getting tangled up with recalibrate. Some sort of UI feedback during recalibrate might be a big help. Is there a simple way to disable auto recalibrate? My test case is Implode. It's just a long series of move-click, move-click. But you can use the space bar rather than click so my finger stays on the pad for a whole game. (You need a real click to get a new game.) -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
