Novice user having problem with extremely slow touchpad on laptop after Debian Etch installation



Hi there all.  I'm a novice Linux user having just a bit of a problem after installing Etch through a net install..  My touchpad on my laptop basically seems like the sensitivity is down 90%..  Large, swift movements that should easily zip across the screen only moves a couple of cm. across the screen..  I don't know if this is a problem with the Gnome that comes with the stock install, or with the Xorg, or how to fix it for that matter :-(

Other than that I love it so far, but I'm stuck using the "eraser-head-pointer" to navigate in X and I haven't a clue how to go about fixing it

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)
The laptop is a Dell D600 Latitude

Thanks all :-)
