Synaptics Touchpad on Presario 2100


Hi there.

I have a problem... I just installed Slackware 10.2 (a dual-boot with Windows) on my laptop, and I want to get the touchpad and volume buttons on the side to work. How would I go about this? I know I need kernel modules for them, but I can't find them anywhere. I'm fairly proficient with *nix, so any help would be appreciated.

ummm.....I can't remember where I got the source to the driver, but after finding the source, I found a debian package for it, so I stopped using the source. I'll get back to you as to where I got the source
