Bug Description
On a plain dapper powerpc installation (that is, plain breezy dist-upgraded to dapper) on an Apple iBook G4 12'', the touchpad is very, very slow and almost impossible to use even setting mouse speed at its maximum.
Removing and re-modprobing the appletouch module temporarily fixes the problem, until X is left for some reason (as in switching to a virtual terminal, or putting to sleep the iBook, and of course rebooting). When going back to X the problem is still there.

I can confirm I have the same problem, and the workaround works for me also. My Ibook is a post-August 2005 12" 1.33 GHz ibook (the last version, the one they're selling now). In my case I didn't dist-upgrade from breezy (I'm keeping it in another partition), but I did a plain install from the 20060113 dapper CD image.
The touchpad works fine with breezy
