I've figured out the problem of spontaneous selection that I previously posted. I haven't figured out the solution. As it turns out, the trackpad on the Sony 505 supports a "tap" to select, unbeknownst to me. When running under XFree 4.2.0, the absolute *slightest* brush causes a selection. So when I'm typing, if my thumb touches the pad at all, it causes a selection. Under windows, the threshold was so much higher that I frankly didn't even know about the feature. Any ideas on an option that will move up this threshold? Right now I'm: Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "ps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" EndSection
