OK. now that we know the cause of the crash I was experiencing earlier, I've retested the 2nd image from Ville (with the ps2mouse module disabled) and can confirm that it is not structurally broken. However, my Alps touchpad still is not supported correctly as Holger Wansing also already reported. Note that I'm not sure if Ville's patch affects linux_input or ps2mouse or both, so with ps2mouse disabled I may not have actually tested anything... As the current directfb works in an acceptable way for both synaptics and alps and given the fact that Etch is now frozen, I feel we should delay applying new patches to after the release and we should also try to get alps touchpads properly supported first. Cheers, FJP
