Booting with psmouse.proto=bare will force the touchpad into standard PS/2 mode. You may also try booting with psmouse.proto=imps and psmouse.proto=exps - maybe one of these 2 will give you virtual scrolling. If psmouse is compiled as a module you will have to add options psmouse proto=bare to your /etc/modprobe.conf Btw, what device/protocol are you using in X? I'd advise setting it to "dev/input/mice" and "ExplorerPS/2" so if your touchad is indeed sending scroll events X would use them. Could you post your config, please? Thanks! -- Dmitry
