[ydl-gen] Trackpad Problems: YDL 4.0.? installer on PowerBook 5,6

[Michael Baer]

I did find something that worked for me.  There is info and source
code at, http://www.popies.net/atp/ on a kernel module for enabling
the trackpad.

It requires kernel sources to build, but it builds and loads
separately.  I didn't try building it with the standard Yellowdog
kernel sources myself, but I think it will work with those.

It does require some X11 configuration file changes, as well, which
are documented on the link above.
