That has not been my experience. I'm running XF86-4.0.3 on my laptop (under both FreeBSD 4.3-S & 5.0-C). I use moused, because I was hoping that the "touchpad tap" would be distinguishable from pressing & releasing the let mouse button, in which case I would be able to use moused's re-mapping abilities to actually get access to 3 mouse buttons without resorting to chording. (Unfortunately, it appears that the driver sees the actions as equivalent, which makes it pretty hard to distinguish between them -- but that's not the topic of this thread.) In any case, I've certainly seen no odd behavior of the mouse at all (other than that apparently designed-in flaw). Cheers, david -- David H.
