I afraid that you can't get touchpad working unless it's enabled. No, you need the input device event interface (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) It has nothing to do with MD/DM. Daniel Yes, event interface you need as well. My problem was if compile kernel without devicemanager, mouse was working only in console (gpm), but not in X. Spent a lot of hours on that. Finally I've red dmesg and there it was.... no devman. If you have still problems, try to enable that. Michalz
