    touchpad on dell latitude



    I installed Etch on my dell latitiude. How can I manipulate the speed at which I can move my mouse pointer across the screen. Normally I can just hold it down and move it across the board without a problem. But it only moves an inch at a time while moving my finger across the entire touchpad.

    I have tried changing the settings in contol panel but it didnt make a difference. I didnt have this problem after installing Etch on my Thinkpad.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
