I am trying to get a laptop touchpad working properly with arch fully
up to date as of today. The machine is a recent Dell Vostro and has an

With kernel 3.6 in testing, and with the new protected symlinks
feature being on by default, I wondered if anyone has seen any

For people who have converted to systemd it seems that consolekit is no

When removing it should one do "pacman -R consolekit" or "pacman -Rs

Recently there have been some (slightly) confusing output lines running
pacman -Syu.

But of course:
[root@lapmike3 ~]# pacm
