I think the problem is that the tap detection in mousedev.c is very simplistic. It always generates a button click if the time between "finger down" and "finger up" is small enough, even if the finger was moved a large x/y distance. The X driver handles this with another parameter that specifies the maximum allowed distance. If the finger moved more than this distance, no button event is generated. -- Peter Osterlund - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://web.telia.com/~u89404340 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
