The touchpad works in much the same way for me with tc-4/xorg-7.6

This is in xorg-7.6-3d, no?

Yes, so it is. Thanks for the pointer. When I have time, I'll try it.
But not having good control over the touchpad is a significant usability issue. Before I could use the touchpad for scrolling, and I could temporarily disable the touchpad entirely (as when a mouse was plugged in after X was up) using synclient. X isn't loading the synaptic driver so that I can use synclient... it just seems to merge the touchpad events into the mouse events and treats both as generic mice.

I installed the Xorg-7.6-3d extension and got the hardware rendering working. glxgears reports about 60 fps fullscreen. YouTube is running fairly nice with Flash11. The ATI graphics seems to relieve the AMD Neo K125 single-core CPU quite a bit... CPU load running 40 to 50%. Not bad! :D

Still no joy with the synaptic touchpad in TC 4.x. :'(
I copied all of the xorg.conf.d snippets from a working Fedora distribution and rebooted into Tiny Core 4.3. The config snippets had no effect on the behavior of the touchpad configuration under Xorg 7.6 on TC 4.3. The synaptics driver is still not loaded (even though the file is present in my system) and the touchpad works with the default, very basic, settings.
Maybe the new 3.0.21 kernel in TC 4.4 will make things work differently? I'll need to recompile acx-mac80211.ko again. :P
