The laptop has a synaptic mousepad endowed of two buttons that in normal conditions are not used at all being enough to double-hit on the pad to have the same effect as that of pressing the left button. Now at boot time I enabled moused # ps ax|grep moused 493 ?? Ss 0:00.54 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto And the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ................................................ Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection ................................................. Now it happens that: 1) If I start kde as a user by means of the command startx (having put startkde into .xinitrc) the mouse(-pad) works as expected: I can move around the screen and select and launch programs just moving on the pad and double hitting the pad . No problems! In a nutshell no need to press the left button. 2) If at boot time I start kde by means of kdm having put in /etc/ttys: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure and modified /etc/pam.d as required to autologin, I immediatedly and automagically login into kde as a user and the mouse works BUT... with the pad I can only move around the screen and the double-hit doesn't work anymore so that I have to use the left button cumpulsorily (and annoyingly). Why in your opinion is that crazy behavior and what should I do? Ciao Vittorio
