I don't know exactly what needs to be fixed to resolve the issue in Debian, but I will try to give a little more background information:
What I basically want is for the udev rules to be changed such that the appletouch module is used for the touchpad (though usbhid is still needed for the keyboard). Sorry if I can't give more technical specifics - though I do know for a fact this was fixed in Ubuntu before. I'll take a look at their udev rules and send more info if possible... I added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/appletouch as a workaround: install usbhid /sbin/modprobe appletouch; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install usbhid $CMDLINE_OPTS * extra system info - to help with fixing this * Related dmesg output: input: appletouch as /class/input/input23 input: Apple Computer Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad as /class/input/input24 input: USB HID v1.11 Device [Apple Computer Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2 My lsusb output: Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05ac:8300 Apple Computer, Inc.

Could this be done in Debian as well I am sorry, but I am currently having troubles reading your mind and/or your file system. Do you mind explaining me what am I supposed to do? -- ciao, Marco -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGpk40FGfw2OHuP7ERArxFAJ93ZShBulYiKBn3aBwV+A1NjIzAVgCffk8B Bt4ZCbXDd84V2aVHGna0IZE= =9P+O -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
