Cursor does not move left/right using touchpad on 2.6.22-20080123.4 and newer master kernels

[Andres Salomon]

Hi,

This sounds different, though.  I'm aware of a hardware issue that would cause
this problem, and that's why your XO was shipped back for repair.  However,
Denver sees it go away when he switches back to 2.6.22; that doesn't sound
like a hardware issue.
