Re: SMS Virtual Mouse Problem



Waleed--
We need some more information to properly diagnose this, primarily what
types of hardware are being affected. We've seen issues with older versions
of the Synaptics touch pad drivers, but we were able to identify the problem
and they have provided a fix in their more recent drivers.

As far as the Network and Display drivers, I'm interested in any
commonalities so we can try and test the configurations.
