problem with catalyst and touchpad

Hello

My laptop is the dell studio 1557 (with ati radeon mobily 4500 series). Today i build the ati catalyst  10.4 from the aur. Everything works fine, except from the touchpad. When i am moving the mouse cursor with the touchapd, it doesn't moving properly.... It is moving like i am using 2 fingers into the touchpad instead of 1. I have use the ati catalyst driver in other distributions and it is fine...Here is some extra informations.... I am using xorg-server 1.7.6. Also the catalyst driver is has a conflict with the libgl library so i remove it using pacman -Rd libgl because it is depedency of the xorg-server and mesa... Do you know what should i do, so i can fix the problem?

# pacman -S xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-synaptics

Then reboot?

Don't break the silence unless you can improve upon it.

Re: problem with catalyst and touchpad

catalyst is your video driver - it has nothing to do with your touchpad.

Have a look here and here.
