[wplug] trackpad on powerbook

[John Harrold]

Sometime in February Eric C. Cooper assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| If you're running gpm, then you need to use /dev/gpmdata for your
| mouse device.

Good idea, but I'm not using gpm.

| If gpm isn't the problem, does an external USB mouse work when you use
| /dev/input/mice in X?

I don't have one right now, but that is an option. I tried doing something
like:

cat /dev/psaux 

while moving around on the trackpad. I did this for several obvious devices
as attempt to identify the correct device and got nothing. I tried the same
computer on my desktop, and when I moved my mouse strange stuff would spit
out on the screen.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
