I just compiled and installed Wolk-3.0-rc2, and it's worked perfectly
for me except for one problem. I have the touchpad portion of the
synaptics mouse on my IBM Thinkpad setup to only send mouse scroll wheel
events when you move your finger up and down on it, which worked fine on
all of the 2.6.3 based Wolk kernels. However, it did not work on
Wolk-3.0-rc2 or any other 2.6.5 kernels I've tried. I have no clue what
the problem is, no helpful log output and cat /dev/input/mouse1 still
gives me output when I use the touchpad. 

Instead of taking hte time to figure out the problem, I just reverted to
the 2.6.3 mouse input drivers, which worked fine. I've attached a patch
against 2.6.5-Wolk3.0-rc2.
