[chuck-users] Trackpad issue

Some time ago I noted that I needed to use a different device number for the built-in track pad.  Mouse 1 vs mouse 0.  I suspected that Apple might be getting ready to introduce a touch-screen Laptop, which would of course be device 0.  That never happened yet tho.  Did you try a different device #??
