There are also typically physical microswitches under the trackpad - these should trigger normal mouse button events independent of the trackpad support. >Do we support that?

The X.org codebase is common across BSD/Linux so behaviour elsewhere is a reasonably good guide to behaviour on FreeBSD. --=20 Peter Jeremy --+SfteS7bOf3dGlBC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJaQsyHXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFRUIyOTg2QzMwNjcxRTc0RTY1QzIyN0Ux NkE1OTdBMEU0QTIwQjM0AAoJEBall6Dkogs0VvwP/j6YxVi7OEJJDqF6kewVoFDw Lj474EI8Pghu4Vwsx8MpfX5+V6/2+ZTsG142HHOZjcX41NOUXg+dN7iM1ZBfmg+K L59Lkl69K5uM1KnbL2nP2nF26Yksry0uJuv4WrThJe+sqN5i+OVVY5Ncveq0gRLR Y39DRcBpF1Hch4SLqeCwTtaUnmmWvxPIoK03npNckB2lKP7kGgi4G9gFgZrIj9Bw P5FHPu9R8BwSvRb+sKcot4EK7e95mWufkCTSWrQpdwtz2zndCGKnx0bKltoVOR4v /5UjXBOjYxPhRJN+Ca2h84PuXS6rcfjCmUX6FXdiN/piP2BCBXf2i34qmvPcWMVj aFaR1EoxyhNCSvNfYsrZICUZIiewWEA0j7hW9ZXhgYP7YWUzj/oa55rj3TsOAnSJ Nr1eDAMLk0uRFvDRUv15ul6zJo61tEhny/Vt++IXIDq97nOscyXS7CAsaHriEaqF sUyt3bFonNfczBageCMJsnF0BCGdEUtsJF3ChL198+lC4f3yrbmDbGE1F0kBer8H MzE/jDQwRG4LRSMC5bHUZev1As2k2C93FKYzjSIx26gSuMpeX7zyusjlYVugs0BX xZFxkmj0qDqNWOCfaGlC1yNWPF8Ax4ZO0IPomekwctV2UQ4RgGYW7T3C1x7GpNGk 3hzOChAeVIY6n6BlezrW =ky1/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+SfteS7bOf3dGlBC--
