However I am currently using kernel 3.2.5 and there is no sign of improvement in the touchpad behaviour. I was thinking of trying to compile the psmouse.ko module and manually inserting it but I guess it would likely do no more than building and installing the above package. I suppose that once the reverse engineered module was taken up in the upstream kernel for 3.3 then no further development or support happened for the package to use in the pre-3.3 kernels though it the meantime it is a little frustrating having to wait a month or two until 3.3 is released! -- mike c
