With cvsbk rev 423b66b6oJOGN68OhmSrBFxxLOtIEA (rsynced Monday, it claims to be "2.6.12-rc1"), the situation is much improved. The AlpsPS/2 driver recognizes the trackpad, tracking speed is back to normal, and tapping is turned on by default. (Drat, now I need to figure out how to turn that off again.) The kernel output is a bit odd, though: [ 1200.254707] Adding 987988k swap on /dev/hda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 [ 1200.330453] EXT3 FS on hda2, internal journal [ 1203.504154] SCSI subsystem initialized [ 1204.039053] Enabling hardware tapping [ 1204.099034] ieee1394: Initialized config rom entry `ip1394' [ 1204.266077] input: PS/2 Mouse on isa0060/serio1 [ 1204.400583] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint on isa0060/serio1 [ 1204.779799] sbp2: $Rev: 1219 $ Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [ 1206.183165] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds Note how the "Enabling hardware tapping" message is several lines earlier than it seems it should be... I don't think I'm supposed to be tapping on my SCSI hardware. ... ah, I think I'm missing the "ALPS GlidePoint detected" message which I used to get. Without it, the "Enabling hardware tapping" message is a bit opaque. Other than that, I have no complaints about the trackpad.
