Thanks for the update on this Rafi, I don't have a multi-touch (yet) but I have seen some similar behaviour on a regular touchpad lately. I wonder if similar problems are occuring on both architectures. It seems to be like a hardware interrupt (the thing responsible for sending the x,y coordinates after some z seconds) is unable to send those through the buffer. But without the architecture its not possible to say if that's exactly it. About the wiki that you were talking about, there are a couple of wikis on different hardwares that are present but none on the current state of how they work, one of the ways I can think of collecting more info. would be checking mailing lists like this one. I will look into opensolaris and freebsd side to see if I get anything useful. -- Regards, Vikram Dhillon There is poetry and there is beauty in real sympathy; but there is more — there is action. The noblest and most powerful form of sympathy is not merely the responsive tear, the echoed sigh, the answering look; it is the embodiment of the sentiment in actual help.
