Dear Mika and friends,<BR>
<BR>
rc1 of 1.1 does everything just about perfectly - install is dead clean, and, as long as one knows what sources to use, one can have a complete desktop environment with all the bells and whistles pretty quickly.<BR>
<BR>
My Dell laptop, however, and most dell latitudes, which is a high percentage of business users' machines, uses the alps touchpad. Normally, the synaptics driver is loaded, no problem, but grml-x does not configure it, nor can I, even simply copying my current xorg.conf, get it to work.<BR>

instead, the pointing stick thing works, but both should.<BR>

Both work in sidux, but I hate to have to reinstall it just to get the xorg.conf from it, if indeed, that is even the problem.<BR>
<BR>
same hwinfo from my working grml<BR>
