glidepoint mouse will not tap

box_l · 08-18-2004, 08:07 AM

in mandrake 9.2 my glidepoint mouse would let me tap on it and behave as though i had clicked the mouse buton.

now i have mandrake 10.0 powerpack and it will not tap any more!

does anyone have any ideas as i am so used to tapping its getting quite frustrating.

when mandrake 10 boots you get a choice of kernels

linux no tapping

263-7 no tapping

2425-2 hooray tapping works!!

now, how do i get it to work under the 2.6 kernel?

ok
have found out that synaptics touchpads do not work correctly under the 2.6 kernel

there are numerous fixes out there.
