Hi,
I'm running XFree86 nicely on my Compaq R3070. It all seems to work very well. However I am haing one problem with the built-in mouse pad. This mouse pad responds to small taps on it like they were mouse left clicks. This is becoming a problem for me as while typing on the keyboard once in a while my thumb will barely touch the pad and the cursor will jump or something bad will happen.
Take a look at the "tpconfig" program. I don't know your particular laptop, but "tpconfig" sets a variety of touchpad hotspot and click emulation parameters for some models of touchpad devices. Your problems is most likely one of those touchpad click emulation settings. Under Windows the touchpad driver initializes these settings to whatever you last configured. Under Linux and X, you get the factory power-up settings until you use a program like this to change them.
There are different models of touchpad with different configuration commands and "tpconfig" does not understand all of them. It understands my laptop's touchpad, so I have not researched the alternatives.

R Horn,
Thanks for the pointer. I tried building and running it but it didn't work complaining
Fatal: Could not open PS/2 Port [/dev/psaux]
Any ideas?
And again, thanks for the pointer.
