Unfortunately I tossed my old laptop for a newer one. However I did work out what the problem was. xorg.conf (as written during the initial installaion) contained an entry for a Synaptics Touchpad device that used /dev/psaux its device. This was fine in older versions of xorg, however later I upgraded to a newer xserver that interpreted mouse events from both the synaptics driver and the regular mouse driver (presumably using /dev/input/mice) simultaneously. The fix was to comment out the line 'Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"' from the "Synaptics Touchpad" InputDevice in xorg.conf. So this bug can be considered fixed if the xorg.conf that is generated by xserver-xorg no longer contains that directive. > Brice -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078
