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?
