Hi,
I'm pretty sure that you are seeing the same problem that I saw
on my dynabook with any kernel up to and including 2.6.12. I hunted
it down to the synaptics touch pad not being able to handle
events at the advertised rate. Perviously there was a work around
in the kernel to limit the event rate on Tosiba Satellite's".
I simply extended this to all toshiba products, and I believe
this was included in 2.6.13. Is there a chance you could
try 2.6.14-2, which is sitting in sid?
