Subject: Problem with trackpad and 2.6.11-rc[23], but not -rc1

Hello.

I just tried (again) to get the most recent kernel version working on my
laptop. All is clear except for one small detail: the trackpad and mouse
buttons don't work. When using the eraser mouse, it moves around fine.
When using the trackpad, the cursour jumps around as though it were using
the wrong protocol. Additionally, the mousebuttons either have no effect
or cause the mouse to suddenly jump left. The kernel log has tons of error
messages (attached).
This behavior started occurring in 2.6.11-rc2; it works fine in 2.6.11-rc1.
The behaviour here was listed with software suspend 2, but when I was
testing it with -rc2, no software suspend patches were applied and I still
saw the behavior.
Pertinent log data and config attached.
Thanks!

-Joseph

What kind of touchpad? What does /proc/bus/input/devices show?
