Hi, I recently dist-upgraded from Potato. Took a while to remove Ximian only to discover that I still had XServer-SVGA as X. All fixed now.
Despite many attempts I cannot get the Synaptics Touchpad to work. No matter what I do it behaves as if GPM was running - flies all over the screen, clicks completely unpredictable. In desperation I plugged in an external (2 key) mouse and it works just fine. Ironically I plugged it in as NT4 was shutting down and it worked straight away. I'm not unhappy about using the external mouse as I have some RSI from the edge of the laptop case but I would like the choice. If anyone has any suggestions I'd welcome them. The laptop is a Gateway 5150 - PII-233 64MB RAM, 4.2GB HDD, Neomagic 256AV (NM2200) 2.5MB video RAM. TIA, Tim Wood
