Note that I'm having problems with appletouch (without your script)
anyway... under some circumstances that I haven't properly identified
yet, the thing just goes bunk... that is, it sort of acts like if I was
constantly moving in one direction even when not touching the touchpad
and becomes basically unuseable (I think it switches to absolute
positionning mode, like a tablet, or something, not sure what triggers
it).
The "fix" is to play with sysfs to detach and re-attach the driver...
(or rmmod/modprobe if it's not built-in)
Ben.
