I have an Acer Future keyboard with touchpad that I would like
to use on my Sparc 5 (solaris 2.6). I also have a Sun Interface
Converter. I told Acer techsupport I needed a keyboard and pointing
device which were standard PS/2. They told me that the Future 
keyboard would work and that it only requires a specific driver if
one wants the tapping and drap-n-drop functionality. I assumed
that meant that it was standard PS/2 and I didn't care that much
about the special tapping functions. So I got the keyboard.

Unfortunately, the touchpad and mouse buttons have no effect
whatsoever. Does anyone out there know how I could get this
touchpad to work?

Thank you very much for any help or pointers to help!
Please e-mail me a copy of your response.
