Re: spurious mouse clicks

Well, it seems that others have run into this as well and that the issue might be the result of the introduction of a more specific driver/features (for Alps touchpad) which accompanied breakage, er "new features", of the more generic driver...

Some embarrassingly slight changes to my google search terms popped up this conversation from this summer (I am just waiting for google to release the tool that knows what I am looking for before I ask. Either that or the end of civilization which would clearly come if they took the old deja-news archives off-line again...):

http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/1af60302c31aa4bf/f0e91763bafea020?lnk=st&q=touchpad+sensitivity+2.6.12&rnum=1#f0e91763bafea020

So, I guess I will have to break down and:

a. read that thread
b. change drivers to the more specific Alps driver... c. perhaps tweak some parms to get it to stop interpreting random mouse movements as clear statements that I would like to delete files and trash my desktop...
