The touchpad on the e6510 is completely bananas. B A N A N A S
It's twitchy, there's not necessarly a correlation between where you slide your finger and where the pointer actually goes, the pointer jumps all over the place, clicks where it shouldn't and won't click where it should.
The trackpoint device does seem to work well though... but the touch pad is bollocks.

Is this not working with the nVidia driver or the open source driver? or neither?
