Here is a patch that's required for touchpads like those in my ThinkPad T61. It identifies only as a touchpad and not as a mouse. Without this change to /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi the touchpad will not with an input-hotplug-using X server.

Tony, I CC'd you because there appears to be no freedesktop@g.o Bugzilla user for some reason, and you've made recent changes to HAL.

reassigning. @HAL guys, this looks safe enough, right?

Cheers
