I don't know exactly what needs to be fixed to resolve the issue in Debian,
but I will try to give a little more background information:
What I basically want is for the udev rules to be changed such that the
appletouch module is used for the touchpad (though usbhid is still needed
for the keyboard). Sorry if I can't give more technical specifics - though
I do know for a fact this was fixed in Ubuntu before. I'll take a look at
their udev rules and send more info if possible...
I added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/appletouch as a workaround:
install usbhid /sbin/modprobe appletouch; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
usbhid $CMDLINE_OPTS
* extra system info - to help with fixing this *
Related dmesg output:
input: appletouch as /class/input/input23
input: Apple Computer Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad as
/class/input/input24
input: USB HID v1.11 Device [Apple Computer Apple Internal Keyboard /
Trackpad] on usb-:00:1d.0-2

I am sorry, but I am currently having troubles reading your mind
and/or your file system.
Do you mind explaining me what am I supposed to do?
