Thanks, I did already know about this though, and unfortunately it doesn't help (assuming key mapping cannot be changed). The tuchpad on this laptop is extremely twitchy, which I have bean working around for about a year with DWM, Vimperator, Vim, Xbindkeys etc (I prefer keyboard driven apps anyway). However there are a few things, mostly Flash video players, which cannot be contorted without the mouse. As laptops don't have number pads, the keyboard mouse features built into X are unusable.
