I don't have any other PS/2 devices (since I don't have a PS/2 port ;p) but I do use a USB mouse - but this is totally unrelated to this problem. > Try running the touchpad in relative mode, with 'options psmouse > proto=exps' at /etc/modprobe.conf, which disables the Synaptics (i.e. > absolute mode). Well... This causes X to bomb out with not finding any Synaptics device - which If i understand the driver correctly is quite correct at this point. The fact is, it worked _perfectly_ under 2.6.5 with the standard mode. No problems whatsoever. Something must have changed (but I'm too unfamiliar with kernel code) that causes some sort of a delay in the processing of the input queue of the touchpad. I've upgraded the X driver, but that changes nothing. Jan - -- "For the man who has everything... Penicillin." -- F.
