Unfortunately the Trident Cyberblade in the Presario laptop doesn't work
with XFree86 3.x (even though it is listed as a supported chipset, I
could only ever get it to work in 640x400x16 mode - and even that
required some hacking; just using XF86Setup didn't do it).

Anyway, I can kill some time writing a Synaptics touchpad driver;
hopefully while I do that some X improvements will be made. With luck I
may even be able to use my X on my laptop before it becomes redundant.
