hi...
I've just compiled 2.6.3 on my laptop...
now I can't use my touchpad to click anymore...I have to use the buttons...
also, my mouse (logitech, optical, imps/2) doesn't work anymore...tried every possible /dev entry without any luck (support for USB / hid /busmouse .... is compiled in)
has anyone has similar problems or knows how to solve this ?
regards

You need to get the Synaptics driver for Xfree86:

That's an easy to follow HOWTO doc that I used to get mine working.
It also supports cool feature of using two fingers at once (single tap) to do a middle mouse button, and
three fingers at once (single tap) to do a right mouse button.
