Hi, I've only just signed up to the list. I'm running Debian Unstable on 
my R40 and have been for the last few weeks. I've been generally 
successful but still have a few niggles that I'm trying to iron out - 
and this is one of them.

I've just tried the "TouchPad" section from the XF86Config-4 file that 
Patrick posted, but X refuses to start because the synaptics driver is 
not located. I'm running XFree86 4.3.0 binaries from www.xfree86.org. Is 
there anything special I need to do to initialise this driver?

Thanks,

Tony
