Just wanted to communicate an experience from the deployment here: A while back, we (OLPC + community) discussed the behaviour of the new XO touchpads which have tap-to-click on by default. We debated including the fairly large software changes to be able to disable this functionality with the interest of retaining the behaviour of the old touchpad. We decided against it and shipped software with tap-to-click enabled, in hope that it wouldn't cause problems and users would adjust.
Well, in my 3-4 months here in Nepal I've heard repeated cries for disabling this, since it is causing confusion for children and teachers in the schools. Really I think the biggest issue is that they press it by accident while typing or making other motions and have no idea why the screen has changed significantly (they don't understand that it's because they clicked, or that their hand was near the pad). Do other deployments share the same experience? Daniel _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
