Hmmm... well, I have all those options enabled, but it didn't help any. dmesg
shows that the trackpad is found and initialized, etc, but it just doesn't
work! Xpmac doesn't use it, and I tried numerous gpm lines trying to get it to
work, to no avail. dmesg reports that it's mouse3, so I even tried
gpm -m /dev/input/mouse3 -t imps2: results in no function
gpm -m /dev/input/mouse3 -t bm: results in no function
gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2: external USB trackball works great, but still no
trackpad
etc, etc. Yes, I did kill each gpm process before testing the next
one... Since I do own a USB trackball, and prefer using it (two buttons and
all, you know) this isn't a showstopper for me, but it is kind of annoying...

Finally, on another topic (while I'm writing): I feel kinda guilty asking about
all this, since I'm not contributing code (my C skills are small and my
assembly and hardware skills are non-existent), but... I was wondering about
power management and sound. Any status updates on those?

Thanks,
Robbie Thompson
