yes, the touchpad driver was revised to try and detect "bad
behavior" more quickly, and correct it when necessary, but not
too often. thanks for noticing. :-)

that being said, since we also have this alternate mode for the
pad, we should make it available. it's far from perfect -- it
requires a stylus, for instance, and a fair amount of pressure.
but it's predictable, which is something you can't really say for
capacitive mode.
