No offense taken :). I merely wanted to point out that it could be a bug in the X server, too. In XI 2.2, there is only button 1 emulation. If you double tap it should double click. If you press and hold, it should press and hold button 1. There's no "gestural" interpretation in the X server that interprets touchscreen input and causes a button 2 event. -- Chase -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
