The appletouch module sets it to another mode, where the touchpad reports raw data of its sensors. If appletouch isn't loaded automatically, I suspect the product ID of your touchpad is not listed inside the appletouch driver. With the appletouch module loaded I get this inside the output of 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices': I: Bus=0003 Vendor=05ac Product=020f Version=0028 N: Name="appletouch" P: Phys=usb-0001:10:1a.0-2/input0 S: Sysfs=/class/input/input7 H: Handlers=mouse2 event7 B: EV=b B: KEY=6420 0 10000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=1000003 Without appletouch this section is missing. Maybe the easiest way to get your product ID is to start up the System Profiler of MacOSX and look at the values of 'USB => USB-Bus => Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad'. Then you can verify it with the list inside the appletouch source. Somewhere in appletouch I found a comment 'No 17" Macbooks (yet)'. Could that be the culprit?
