I discovered that, for years, I have used "xset m 3/1" in my X startup. Removing it eliminates this problem. But, the mouse is then too slow. I've looked at the -a and -A options on moused, instead. The problem returns, albeit to a lesser extent. What I'd previously described as large jumps and occasional keyboard input might more likely be sudden sequences of unexpected jump-tap events, some of which cause menu or popup openings, text selection or window focus changes, depending on where the cursor went. This when all I am doing is moving the cursor using the touchpad. This suggests a touchpad calibration problem. Since there doesn't seem to be any other outcry about GlidePoint problems on 7.0 and since this worked fine for me under 6.2-stable, perhaps I just need to find better settings for use with 7.0. Anyone else using a GlidePo= int touchpad care to suggest moused and/or X mouse settings? =20 > 2. after every [ACPI] resume it's as if a middle-click has been done: the= last > selected text is pasted back again.

It is easily repeatable for me: - in X, use left-click to select some text (in any application) - give the focus to an xterm window (e.g., move cursor to an xterm window, or click on one) - suspend the system (mine suspends to S5) - resume the system - observe that previously selected text is now pasted in the xterm window Any thoughts? -jr --Sig_/pBXGW+vlJWrHxQ1zqOPCFMJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHVGculs33urr0k4kRAhoSAJwOm1+R13UZg5gRkjD3sK9hOQWfCgCeKkFI J3dLCoGf/Pz7IZWUS8U+Hcg= =q7Em -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/pBXGW+vlJWrHxQ1zqOPCFMJ--
