It works, thank you! I have been missing two-finger scrolling, it was quite awkward using edge scrolling IMHO. It does feel like it sometimes gets stuck in scrolling mode. When trying to move the pointer just after having scrolled, it scrolls even using just one finger. Three-finger tapping also works. (Generating a button 3 event) "Clicking" on the pad (pushing it down until it "clicks" sends button events for both button 1 and 2. (Which is seems to sometimes be interpreted as button 3...) The biggest improvement though; before it would get totally crazy at random intervals with the pointer moving all over the screen and clicking at random points. Quite annoying... This patch seems to have eliminated that! Also, does it support horizontal scrolling? Jakob Alvermark
