Laptops :: mouse pad issue

I have a 1 ghz compaq lapton I'm trying to get DSL to work with. The issue I'm having with it is that the pointer won't get on screen. The right and left click works, but when I do bring up the dialog box, my mouse pointer won't go above the bottom of the screen. Anybody else have this same problem. DSL works fine on my desktop, but this lapton is giving me problems, prob 'cause its COMPAQ!!!!!

Hi
I have had mouse pad issues with some of the newer versions of DSL on my old Compaq laptop. If you can try version 0.5.3.1. It works for me.
