I have no experience with that particular laptop, but every lappie that I've ever used with a touchpad has "just worked" if the mouse is configured as a normal 2-button ps/2 rodent (ie, on /dev/psaux). The magic configuration file (that "mouseconifg" modifies) is /etc/sysconfig/mouse, which sets up some environmental variables with parameters that are passed to gpm (the "general purpose mouse" daemon). Check /etc/init.d/gpm to see exactly how it works. Have a good look at gdm itself (eg, "gdm -h" and "man gdm"), then try to running it manuall (NOT with X running, but in a text console) with various parameters until you can get it working as you want. Then make sure that the same parameters get put into that sysconfig file (if not with mouseconfig, then edit it manually). After that, there is the matter of the X server... find the "pointer" section of XF86Config (in /etc/X11/) and modify it accordingly (if mouseconfig hasn't done the right thing). Good luck.
