I guess the unlucky number 13 put a hex on the 'X' key when typing :-). 2) I found a quick description of the PS/2 Mouse interface at: http://www.computer-engineering.org/ps2mouse/. Is Linux following the protocol described there for device identification? 3) If (2) is correct, are you suggesting that my Laptop's touchpad is faking out the protocol by returning to Linux an ato answer of 0x03 for device ID (indicating a Microsoft scrolling wheel mouse) for the mouse ID after setting the sample rates to first 200, then 100 and then 80? 4) How do other ps/2 devices (i.e. touchpads) negotiate the identification protocol? In particular what is the Alps protocol? 5) Would I be right in thinking that Cirque actually designs and sells the touchpads sold by Alps? Have you tried contacting Cirque to get developer support (i.e. go to http://www.cirque.com/pages/?section=12&page=54) 6) I've contacted my lap-top vendor (Acer) and have requested vendor and model data of my touchpad.
