Mouse disappears/crashes



Hello List,

I'm working on a cute Dell L400 with a touchpad on a KDE 3.1.1 environment. Mousedriver is the default ps2.

I have some trouble with my touchpad (and the external device too). The mouse tends to halt (and sometimes reactivates itself after a while). Sometimes it disappears completely. I experienced this problem on Win2K and WinXP too, but not that often.
I can get the mouse back if I terminate the X-server (ctrl-alt-backspace).

Questions:
- any experience with this problem?
- any hints how to go around the halt-problem?
- any hints how to restart the device without terminating the X-Server?

in addition/btw:
- is there any touchpad-driver which enables autoscroll-features (or other touchpad-enhancements) known from windows?

Thanks for your help : )
