touchpad issues


I have an HP zv6000 laptop and after getting the stupid broadcom adapter working, I've moed on to the touchpad which does not work at all. I'm using Fedora Core 4 by the way. I've read on other forums that all you need to do is run the commands "rmmod psmouse" and "modprobe psmouse". The problem is, I get an error: "ERROR: Module psmouse does not exist in /proc/modules". So is there a way to add this module to the kernel or do I need to recompile and include it? I'd appreciate in other advice that would get my touchpad working. Thanks.

try:

echo -n "psmouse" > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/drvctl

replace serio0 with what ever serial port kernel asign to your touchpad.
