I have the ALPS touchpad with scroll working after a little tweaking. You'll need to install synaptics drivers and edit your x config. (oh and I also use an usb mouse with no probs switching between the two.) When researching how to get the scroll working, I read articles from people getting it to work on Debian Sarge, Ubuntu, and Slackware also. I seem to recall a couple distros had the touchpad(w/o scroll) working out-of-the box: Mepis, Suse, and Mandriva. (I tried a few before settling on Fedora.) Most likely you will have to tweak a little if you want the scroll working for any distro. -j __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
