i have the above machine (it's a few weeks old and yes i love it) but the trackpad has started to misbehave. when i move the pointer using the trackpad the pointer darts to the right a lot to the pont of being unusable. a reboot aleviates the problem but it come back again.

from what i've read resetting the PMU might help but i don't seem to be able to do this properly

ie. you press ctrl-shift-option-power and wait 5 seconds (after turning off the machine). the problem here is that it just starts the machine up and the PMU appears to be un-reset (i still retain the date etc)

can anyone help me at least rule out the PMU reset as a possible solution before i get in touch with apple? is there a software way of resetting the PMU that i can use?

many many thanks for any replies!
