Thanks for confirming it's still a problem in new linux kernel.  And
very good to see someone else with the same hardware and an interest in
finding a fix.

Why did you change "affects"? I'm pretty sure this is a linux kernel
problem, specifically a driver problem.

See similar bug 606238 and particularly comment 77 where Seth Forshee
points to his blog entry, where he describes how to get started reverse-
engineering touchpad protocols.  He did this successfully for the ALPS
driver and his fixes have been submitted upstream.  See his comment 492
on Bug 550625 for his DKMS package.

I think I've established that the hardware on this meenee is not ALPS
and is not helped by Seth's specific fix to drivers/input/mouse/alps.c

I can't apply his tactics to snoop on the touchpad protocol until I can
get hold of a USB CD drive.
