I didn't want to hijack the thread, so I waited till this moment. I can report a similar problem on my laptop. The symptoms are pretty much the same as those described by Johan. However, in my case the Touchpad worked fine (for example, sliding the finger on the far-right side correctly translated into scrolling). It was (more or less) after I used a couple of times my Logitech USB Mouse that the Touchpad defaulted to basic mouse functionality (two buttons and "mouse pointer" movement). At that time I was convinced it was a "coldplugging" problem. When I found some more free time, and after having survived an "emerge world", I switched to a (completely) dynamic udev. Still, this did not solve the problem. Then I was blocked. Following the Wiki Howtos for configuring the Touchpad did not help much, either. How do you think that I could verify that this is a "coldplug/udev" problem? Could this be the problem, at all? What information that would help you help me pin-point the problem could I post?
