    Hello,

    I installed Win-7 64-bit on my xps m1530 using patches from keyliner blog.

    I have found a strange thing going on with touchpad. seems to be very very very sensitive and I see popups all over the place, opens new apps, clicks on desktop icons etc.

    If I take off the media control buttons cable then all works well, touchpad works great. As soon as I attach the media button cable, all h@ll breaks loose (ok, fine it is an exaggeration).

    Is the media control button gone kaput or is it win-7 driver issue? The only other ways I know of to look at is - either get another media control button set or install vista back on and see. But would like to see if there are any other inputs/suggestions before I look into doing either of the above 2 ways.

    Thanks for your help.
