Option 1)
Use psmouse_noext option on the command line. This will
restore the previous behavior easily and immediately.
Option 2)
Get the Synaptics XFree86 driver for 2.5 kernels from
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html
This will enable additional features with the pad, like
palm detection, multitap gestures and more. It will also
make the pad work, of course.
