Hi All
For my next project-- add a driver for the touchpad and use it rather than the usb mouse. I installed the synaptics driver, and evdev, edited the xorg.conf to include synaptics; so far, no joy.
Any ideas on this one?

The touchpad should work even if you don't have a specific driver installed.
Slitaz kernel is compiled to provide touchpad PS2 mouse emulation:
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y
What brand/model touchpad:
lspci -nn

Synaptics module unloads,it can't find your touchpad:
Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics event device found (checked 13 nodes)
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mouse1
No such file or directory.
Synaptics driver unable to open device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics Touchpad"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
Open terminal
dmesg | less
Scroll down and find the kernel messages describing your touchpad.
Post them if you find them.
For example from a Dell Inspiron E1505:
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 6.2, id: 0x180b1, caps: 0xa04713/0x200000/0x0
input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input

I don't see anything like it in dmesg; I see the usb mouse I am using though

It's not there.
Try both stable and cooking.
Does the touchpad work with other distros?
Another place to look is /proc/bus/input/devices
For example:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event2
B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 30000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003

The touchpad has never worked; I have tried Lubuntu live, and it would not work with that either.
No, I don't see it in the devices file.
I do see 2 ps2 mice though.

Correction; the PS2 compatible mouse is the touchpad according to the documentation from Dell

Fixed it; the trackstick cable was disconnected. Simple hardware issue, go figure. Thanx Mojo!
