Touch pad

[Erik Garrison]

David,

We (the techteam) have some questions:

 - Are there any XOs for which mouse performance is worse since the
   kernel upgrade?
 - What are the average environmental conditions (humidity level, dust,
   temperature) when you are testing the new driver?

Please answer at your leisure.

Erik
