Toshiba touchpad and keyboard issue
 

Hi,

I've been searching for hours now to find a solution but no luck. Im using a toshiba m30 notebook w/ slack 9.1 and i just upgraded to the 2.6.1 kernel. The problem is that after I move the mouse w/ my touchpad my keyboard chokes up and delays for a few seconds before spitting out everything, sometime repeating a letter many times. This happens everytime my thumb just slighlty hits the touchpad when typing and does not occur at all when i use my usb mouse. I tried using both the generic driver and the synaptics touchpad driver but neither fix the problem. The problem isn't only in X it occurs before i even start X. In the old 2.4.22 kernel everything worked perfectly with the generic driver. Anyone else have the same problem or know what to do? This is really annoying.

i have a solution
 

you have to change something in the kernel sources..

Install this..;;;
 

Hi.

I had a same same problem as you.
I use toshibaM30 with redhat9.
I installed tpconfig touchpad driver..get from

http://compass.com/synaptics/

and it works good.

BTW, I have another problems..
1. Did you solved tha problem of battery monitor?
Even if I installed apmd and acpi, kernel doesn't recognized them...

2. Brightness of monitor..
How did you adjust this?

3. Toshiba function keys....well...:(

Someone told me to comment out some stuff in psmouse-base.c and that seemed to fix the problem with the touchpad. The latest 2.6.3 supports the toshiba_acpi functions so the screen brightness works fine. I also installed fnfx to get the function keys working. All the acpi battery fucntions seem to work fine. i didn't compile the kernel with apm.
