Dear Sir,
I am emailing regarding some problems I have been having with the touchpad
on my laptop (a hp pavilion dv5046ea running Fedora Core 5 x86_64).
[ Here are the specifications for my laptop:

Support for my touchpad seems to have gotten worse rather than better in
successive kernels from 2054 onwards.
While on 2054 it generally works fine, On the latest kernels (2154, 2174
etc.) I have only to e.g. open a konqueror window for the onscreen pointer
to start going funny, and jerking about (As happens on computers with v. low
RAM). I know its not a RAM problem, as a) everything else works fine, there
is no slow down of any of the programs I run, only problems with the mouse
and b) I have just upgraded from 512 MB of RAM to 1 GB.
If I plug in a mouse, the pointer works fine. Though I would happily use a
mouse, this is often inconvenient on a laptop.
What kind of touchpad is this? Are you using synaptics X driver or
standard mouse driver? Also I am not quire sure what 2054 or 2154 is.
Can you please try vanilla kernels from kernel.org?
Dave, is there a place where one can see contents of a given RH kernel
(without downloadig and unpacking SRPM)?
