Double-click on touchpad

Double-click on touchpad

I'm running 2.6.0-test11 on a Dell Latitude D600 laptop and I'm having
some problems with the touchpad. For some reason, if I hit the touchpad
twice, the driver seems to generate a triple-click instead of a double
click. However, clicking on the actual button twice correctly generates
a double-click. I checked and 2.4 behaves correctly. Is that a bug or
did something just changed in the way the mouse is handled.

Do you have both /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice in your XF86Config file? In
2.6, these are the same thing, so it actually opens the same mouse twice and
it can cause such weird issues with it.

OK, I removed /dev/input/mice and it now behaves correctly. Now I'm just
not sure how I can add a secondary USB mouse in these conditions...

Thanks,

You could restore /dev/input/mice mice and remove /dev/psaux instead.

Not bad, for a human.

Under 2.6, this functions as both mice. However, if you go back to 2.4, you
will have to re-add the other entry to restore original functionality.
