New Kernel (2.6.11) doesn't like me

Hi all;

I've recently installed KDE 3.4 and the latest kernel. I have two issues with 
the latest kernel (2.6.11-1.14_FC3):
1. with the previous kernel my touchpad on my sony Vaio (VGN-S260) worked 
perfectly. I've had to add some code to my xorg.conf file which has helped 
under th new kernel but it's still not quite right. The tap feature doen't 
work as well as previously and the movement is in general sluggish and it's 
even more difficult to navigate small movements.

2. two times now since installing the latest kernel my machine has locked up 
tighter than a small child holding onto the last piece of candy (i.e. nothing 
works). I cannot click, run any keyboard sequences,etc. my only option is to 
power down hard. There is no pattern or similarity between the lockups. The 
first time I had selected shutdown from the KDE menu and it was between the 
point where the system logged me out and where I see the list of services 
being stopped - I was simply locked at a blank screen.  The second time a few 
days later I tried to close a konsole window , once I clicked on the X at the 
top right corner to close the window the system immediately stopped 
responding to any mouse or keyboard input.

For now I've gone back to 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 - 

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in terms of a fix or how to debug 
these issues...
