Laptops :: touchpad problems.

The guide was useful and helped out with a Compaq Presario 1600, with a 466 Mhz Celeron. I ended up modifying the XF86Config-4_vesa pretty much as memekox indicated above. The file was found in the directory named Xfree86_config_files.

I modified as listed above, except I didn't bother renaming the mouse, I just left it as mouse 1 and 2, but made the other modifications. It worked and is still doing so.

Just thought I would pass this on in case someone else needs it. In fact this is being typed on the 1600.
