I have a Satellite 1110, ignoring port errors gets the glidepoint
detection to work. To do this, add

	  hint.psm.0.flags="0x1000"

(or-ed with any other flags you might want) to your device.hints.

On my notebook, that is not the only quirk this glidepoint has: it
completely stops sending interrupts as soon as you stop to move the
cursor for a bit. I have found no other solution to this problem but
to poll the glidepoint - this as the obvious disadvantage of
using up some CPU time (< 0.5%), making the mouse movement feel a bit
jittery and occasionally missing some very fast klicks. Since I do not
use the glidepoint overly much, I can live with that.
If your notebook has that problem too, I can supply a patch.
