It almost made me ditch FreeBSD/X on my laptop altogether. This was a Dell Inspiron 7000 and 7500 with a built in 2 button synaptics touchpad. > To really feel its effects under X, enable and use moused, otherwise > you can still feel its effects even if you use the PS/2 mouse device > directly. > This problem no longer affects me, why I do not know. I can relate what I have done that may be different than you in hopes it migh shed some light on a solution. I originally found, backrevving the moused.c made a great difference but before that I did some debugging -- and I would note using moused -d strange "click off" "click on" "click off" activity on the mouse for a single click. This made X behave very strange. It, as I said has stopped. 99.9% of the time I have an external mouse plugged into my laptop, however I haven't noticed any problems using the touchpad itself with or without the external mouse connected. I have both Windows 98SE and Windows 2000 Pro installed with the most recent touchpad drivers from Dell installed and have disabled the "touch click" feature in their respective control panels. This doesn't make a difference, FreeBSD still sees tap clicks. I was unsure if any of this was in anyway useful in your issues, but my problem which was exactly as you described, no longer plagues me. -Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
