So far I have been using the Synaptic Package Manager to search for
"touchpad" and testing all of the available packages with no luck. Is there
any way to find out which one I should be installing for my particular
system?
I tinkered around with the synaptiks touchpad program in the accessories menu
but wasn't able to configure it to work any better.

I found this link (my MacBook is actually model 3.1) and I noticed at the
bottom it says you need kernel version 3.15 for the touchpad to be pleasant
to use. I have worked out Trisquel is using 3.13. So am I right that
different distributions use different versions of the Linux kernel and there
is no way to currently use 3.15 with Trisquel?
I'm starting to think the only way to have a smoother experience will be to
get a USB mouse. Could you recommend a good cheap one? Or will most mouses
work ok?
