This is good advice. I'll give a shot at what you suggest and see if
it solve my issue.
Thank you.

However there's one thing i'd like to mention:

> (You should probably use the synaptics driver for the touchpad).

That is what i assumed I should use in the first place, but as you can
see from the Xorg log it's not working.
The problem here seems that the synaptics driver isn't liking this
touchpad, for some reason.
Maybe the driver just need to be modified to recognize the brand+model
of touchpad in the new R61 ?
Or maybe the new touchpad itself really doesn't support synaptics ?

I think this issue for the most part will be solved once the device is
recognized as a synaptics input device.
Any hints on how to find out why that's not working ?

Thanks,
