I've noticed no difference when used with my MS wheelie mouse and dramatic improvement when trying to paste with the laptop mouse buttons. My HP OmniBook 4150's builtin touchpad practialy didn't work until I applied this patch. Now it works correctly pretty much every time. I'd like to see it comitted for the release, but I'd certaintly understand if it wasn't. -- Brooks On Thu, Dec 16, 1999 at 03:17:26AM -0800, Jordan K.
