I am going nuts trying to figure out the deal with my laptop touchpad. Arrrrrgggghhh! <br><br>I'm using Ubuntu Dapper on a Dell Latitude C610. I have not been able to get the touchpad working properly so far. Until a storm hit last night, I had my laptop working fine with a PS/2 mouse. For some reason, when the storm knocked out our power, that put the laptop in battery mode, and I can't even get the PS/2 mouse to work anymore.
<br><br>The pointer is just all over the screen, mainly going from lower-left to upper-right corners, and back again. It sometimes switches virtual desktops on me, which is even more aggravating - especially if I happen to be typing something, like this e-mail. I have included my /proc info, a note concerning my /dev/input/eventX stuff, and my full
Xorg.conf file (minus the comments).<br><br>Any chance some guru can help me solve this thing? Thanks in advance!<br><br>cat /proc/bus/input/devices<br><br>I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41<br>N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"

<br>--------------------------------<br>Some distributions come with an incomplete /dev directory. The driver needs the /dev/input/eventX device nodes. Try to create them manually if they don't exist already. (Look at /proc/bus/input/devices to figure out how many nodes you need.)
