Hello Ulf !

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I can confirm, that it is ws. Because I had synclient settings
including tabbing in my .xsession file which had no effect after
upgrading to the last snapshot. No, there is no xorg.conf (see search
results below from my original email).

I experienced no differences compared to the synaptics driver from
before.

I know.

Yes, I wait for a new battery (I hope only the battery is died).
Just give me some days.

It is not really a comparison, the experience is like, if I zoom in or
out the zoom steps are bigger. Like if you zoom - lets say in 10%
steps instead of something like 1 or 2% steps. Yes, I readed that
about the touchpad experiences but after I bought it already ;-)

I will try it with the MacBook as soon as possible and then report a
comparison about that.

Is the new ws driver also in the macppc port included ? I have no idea
which hardware is in it but maybe I have the chance to try it out on a
G4 PowerBook.

Regards,

Christoph
