[arch-general] Appletouch/Synaptics on MacBook 3,1

[CiM-9]

I'm using now Kernel 2.6.14 - and the synaptics still don't work as expected.
I've attached some infos, maybe they're usefull to help me. I have no
idea what to try next.

The 2.6.14 Kernel I installed: Was this a released one or a rc?
Because the new appletouch is only included in kernel >= 2.6.14-rc8.

Regards
Chris
