Comment 3 for bug 1035208

Today I noticed that although the touchpad appeared to be not working completely (no pointer movements, and the pointer in X disappeared), it must still be working physically because there was a reaction for the scrolling gesture (gliding up and down at the right side of the touchpad caused scrolling the window contents up and down, as usually).

So this must be some software problem, perhaps even of a higher level driver (X.org driver) which is responsible for interpreting the gestures (touching the touchpad) as either movements or scrolling...
