The reason I moved from RELEASE to STABLE was to try to solve the problem. I don't have the problem if I use an external ps2 mouse. However, that isn't really a solution either, as my palm or fingers can brush the touchpad and still cause the bad behaviour to occur. If I could turn off the touchpad and just use the external mouse, that would be one solution (although far from ideal). I have all the synaptics specs, so when I get a chance I'll dig in the psm code and see if I can fix it. -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
