on the linux side, the touchpad ends up using a module called "appletouch" integrated at 2.6.14.
Yes, I wasn't clear at all. The kernel module is "appletouch" but the X driver is "synaptics" to use the features such as VertTwoFingerScroll and set minimum and maximum finger pressure, scrolling speed, acceleration etc etc. I also have "syndaemon" loaded (part of the Synaptics package, I think) which ignores the pad when typing. "synaptics" and "syndaemon" have man pages if anyone wants to try them out.
Looks like the comprehensive synaptics package can talk to lots of different touchpads, and supports the Alps protocol as well. Very confusing!
