Ah, I see. The problem I have is that after booting, my Synaptics
touchpad simply reverts back to IntelliMouse-Scroll PS/2 emulation
mode. When I tried to "fix" this, by altering the psm.c code, it
detected properly as a synaptics device but I lost the use of my
scroll-pad region.

Anyhow, I'm rebuilding my kernel... let's wee how this works.
