    I just got the Fujitsu S7020D a few weeks ago and have been noticing problems with my Synaptics TouchStyk that P1 installed. Sometimes during use, it seems to get out of calibration and will start to move in one direction, without being touched, until it hits the edge of the screen. If I try to move it in the opposite direction of the straying mouse, it seems to resist the movement and when I let go it strays back in the samge direction. This seems to be intermittent, and after using the TouchStyk for a little while it seems to remedy itself. I also have had instances where the TouchStyk will allow easy graceful mousemovement in one direction and not the other, but no straying of the mouse. Lastly, this is a new one. I started my computer up yesterday, and it said "An external pointing device has been detected, the advanced features of your pointing device will be disabled." The big kicker here is that I didn't have an external pointing device attached, and never have had one attached to this computer?

    I had that problem with my old Dell. I never did find a solution, letting it move unit it tired out seemed to work for me.
