No luck. When i made your changes, no ability to control the pointer
at all. I then tried the instructions from this post:
http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=335393#p335393
but still no go.
I am about readey to take a wood burner to this touchpad and just use
an external mouse. I makes me yearn for the days when I had a gateway
colorbook with a little trackball in a drawer.
