Dear Mika and friends,
rc1 of 1.1 does everything just about perfectly - install is dead clean,
and, as long as one knows what sources to use, one can have a complete
desktop environment with all the bells and whistles pretty quickly.
My Dell laptop, however, and most dell latitudes, which is a high
percentage of business users' machines, uses the alps touchpad.
Normally, the synaptics driver is loaded, no problem, but grml-x does
not configure it, nor can I, even simply copying my current xorg.conf,
get it to work.

instead, the pointing stick thing works, but both should.

Both work in sidux, but I hate to have to reinstall it just to get the
xorg.conf from it, if indeed, that is even the problem.
same hwinfo from my working grml
