The same here, although on Slackware 10.2. The stock 2.6.13 kernel from the slackware instalation disks was working perfectly. The touchpad was detected as ImPS/2, and the "touch-and-drag". was working ok. A new compile of 2.6.16.20 broke the things. The new kernel detected the touchpad as SynPS/2 and the "touch-and-drag" was not functional. After compiling the ps2 mouse support as module (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=m) everything was ok. I do not know why the thing was not working when compiled into the kernel.
