HI all, I have a Dell C840 PIV laptop. It has a trackpoint and a toucpad. Both work fine in windows. But in linux mainly ubuntu, xubuntu, mint, it gives some strange problem. There is no problem in Backtrack-4.
The problem is something like "extended single click". If i click a file, folder, link etc once.. the click remains there and it is hard for me to click another file,folder, link without clicking for 7-8 times which is really very irritating. Also after that sometimes when i move the mouse..... the files/folder/links etc tries to exhibit drag and drop, for eg: If i click on a file, the click remains there and when i move the mouse the file comes along with the pointer. The problem shows even if i use a USB or PS/2 mouse. I dont know what exactly is the problem but i guess it is someting like extended click? I tried all the settings in mouse properties, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-input-mouse. But none worked. So if anyone has any other ideas of reconfiguring mouse properties then please share.
