Well, "not detecting the touchpad at all" would have been a better
description ;)

Sure, but I can anticipate that the touchpad isn't listed in that file.

This is the command I gave:

# apt-get install \
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics=0.14.7~git20070517-2 \
xserver-xorg-core=2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12 \
xserver-xorg=1:7.2-5 \
xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.1.0-2 \
xserver-xorg-input-kbd=1:1.2.0-1+1.2.1 \
xserver-xorg-input-mouse=1:1.2.2-1 \
xserver-xorg-input-evdev=1:1.1.5-3

The driver worked, as reported in the "other" bug report (with the same title),
"some upgrades ago". I didn't report this previously, because I hoped it
would've been solved in the meanwhile.

I can't make the touchpad working now, even with the versions reported above. I
suspect it's something udev(?)-related, or, however, with hardware detection. :(

David
