I have 10.04 installed on a Dell laptop. The left button on the touch pad is not behaving properly. Is there a way to tweak this for speed and duration on the "click"?
This is what I see, and it is quite intermittant except for the auto (down) scrolling which I want to kill also:
1. Click a dialog box button (Like OK) or the close window (X) and it most of the time works but sometimes the graphic shows "button down" and nothing happens, multiple clicks are usually ignored. A slight movement on the touch pad seems to cause "button up" to issue and the action is completed. (Icons wanting double clicks may take several, again intermittant)
2. Icons put in the menu bar sometimes ignore the single click, but if I double click I get 2 programs running, same issue I'm sure.
3. Run away scrolling, possibly related, get a big document or web page and click the "down arrow" on the scroll bar expecting it to jump down a little, sometimes it takes off and scrolls to the end. Very annoying.
Installing a USB mouse and using it ONLY there are absolutely no problems, it performs very well and as expected. I suspect the touch pad driver is at fault but can find no way to tweak it.
I appreciate any ideas, it is just an annoying problem and I'd like to fix it. Thanks in advance.
