Dell Inspiron 1100 touchpad

[ReAX222]

I've searched and tried to work it out, but here's the problem. I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 and am installing 8.2. The touchpad should use the psm driver, but it's not getting installed. I checked the /dev/ and it's not listed and I haven't read of a way to add it to the directory. If it's not detected in boot, how do you add drivers/devices?

Can you please post the touchpad model? (synaptics, Alps, whatever). Also, post your rc.conf (entries regarding hald and dbus (if applicable) and moused), and try a USB mouse (just to see if it's a syscons/moused issue, rather than a driver-related one).
