Take a look at the "tpconfig" program.  I don't know your particular
laptop, but "tpconfig" sets a variety of touchpad hotspot and click
emulation parameters for some models of touchpad devices.  Your problems
is most likely one of those touchpad click emulation settings.  Under
Windows the touchpad driver initializes these settings to whatever you
last configured. Under Linux and X, you get the factory power-up
settings until you use a program like this to change them.

There are different models of touchpad with different configuration
commands and "tpconfig" does not understand all of them.  It understands
my laptop's touchpad, so I have not researched the alternatives.
