Well, it seems as if I was wrong (as I often am). After searching around Sun's
site for a while I tried this and it has worked consistantly for about 20
consecutive reboots.
I created my xorg.conf file using the nvidia utility (as opposed to
/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig).
I commented out the default mouse entry and added one for my tp as follows:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "VUID"
Option "StreamsModule" "vuid3ps2"
Option "Device" "/dev/kdmouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
#Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
# Identifier "Mouse0"
# Driver "mouse"
# Option "Protocol" "auto"
# Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
#EndSection
Then I used kdeconfig to make sure I used xorg server rather than xsun server.
That worked for me.
