it seems to work fine though except that I want to slow down the
cursor. at first I thought it was some kind of driver problem, the
cursor seemed to drift upward on its own; I now think it's sensitive
to my touch - my finger is resting on it (I think). I have to watch
out for that but I also want to make the touchpad less 'skittish'.

a further observation about Mepis: it seems some
settings cannot be changed
from the gui interface, for instance, mouse and touchpad control. it seems
one has to grapple with the commandline for that. don't know if this is a
gap in my setup or part of the KDE4 philosophy.
I'm running a near-default Mepis install, and the usual options (right/left
handed, reverse scroll direction, double/single click to open, pointers,
touchpad on/off, tapping etc.) are showing up for me in KDE4's System
Settings > Hardware > Input Devices along with the Keyboard & Joystick
controls.
