Last night i talked with Guillem Jovier, debian's DirectFB maintainer,
and he said he'll wait some more before uploading new DFB package with
my original patch.
So, i built a new miniiso [1] which includes Ville's updated patch, 
which works much better than mine on my laptop.
Dear d-i guys, if you have a laptop could you give this iso a try and 
report how the touchpad works? if it's ok i'll ask Guillem to include 
Ville's revised patch in debian sources.

cheers

Attilio
