This problem continues.  I've discovered the following:
1) The problem shows up with gpm, as well as X
2) I can plug in a USB mouse and it works fine.
3) If I boot into Windows (ugh), the touch pad works fine.  (It's a bit slow 
in movement, but I assume that's driver settings).

What's the likely hood this a hardware problem that only shows itself in Linux 
and not Windows?
