Hi Bruce,

Off the top of my head, I think the PB 500 series were the first equipped
with a trackpad that allowed the user to "tap" on it.  Maybe the sensitivity
is set too high, so that it thinks that  you're clicking, when you're
actually just moving the pointer around ?

Just my 2 euro-cents,

Onderwerp: PB540c trackpads


Hi,

In my effort to to get NetBSD running on my PB540c I'm now up to
having problems with the mouse (well, it's a builtin trackpad really).
On bootup it identifies itself as:

ams0 at adb0 addr 3: Logitech MouseMan (non-EMP) mouse

If I start X things work fine until I move the mouse, then random
things on the screen are selected, cut, and pasted if I'm in an xterm,
or the menu keeps dropping up and down if I'm over part of the screen
controlled by twm.

Thinking it was just X and the fact that I'm running a LC040, I built
dt, cool program btw, but if I turn on the mouse there it behaves
similarly to the way it behaves in X.  This implys that somewhere in
the kernel, say ams.c,  the mouse is getting processed wrong, right?

Is it possible that an external mouse would solve the problem?  I
could deal with that.  Otherwise I guess I'm off to find out what the
problem is in the kernel...

cheers
