Continuing Synaptic Touchpad issues..

[whatsizbucket at comcast.net]

It seems that with the regressions made in the 2.6.11 kernel, we've taken a step backwards when it comes to laptops with the Synaptic Touchpad.  I have chosen the Synaptic touchpad driver from the install (since anaconda didn't find it during the beginning hardware probe).

I've read Bugzilla reports that support for it stops when the kernel hits 2.6.11, so I'm wondering what I can do to try to motivate this installer in finding my Compaq Presario's (R4000 series) touchpad, or is it mostly a kernel issue?

Thanks!
