[nflug] Touchpad scrolling problem on a notebook

[Cyber Source]

hmm, that doesn't look like a gutsy xorg file, i.e. they started 
commenting out the wacom stuff. Try this, make a backup copy of your 
existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf . Then as root run "dpkg-reconfigure 
xserver-xorg" and let it guess the hardware, etc., then either reboot or 
"/etc/init.d/gdm restart" or kdm or whatever it uses. Then see how your 
touchpad works, note the changes it made, put back the old file if it's 
not as good, etc.
