This sounds crazy. Please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log first. Do you see the same issue on the Linux console? Verify with evtest.

no doubt crazy ;-) it could be a ~0 double-click timeout - no idea how that would occur - evtest says:

sudo evtest /dev/input/event3sudo evtest /dev/input/event3
Event: time 1205149686.297536, type 1 (Key), code 272 (LeftBtn), value 1
Event: time 1205149686.297548, -------------- Report Sync ------------

Event: time 1205149686.389695, -------------- Report Sync ------------

ie. looks fine ( for a single click ).

I attach the conf & logs.

I had this once with Alpha1. I had the touchpad and trackpoint enabled on my T43P, installed openSUSE. Then I realized that the touchpad was enabled so I disabled it in BIOS and it started happening. After removing the mouse entry in xorg.conf for touchpad it worked again.

Thanks magnus - that fixed it.

Turns out the problem was the (duplicate?) Mouse[3] and Mouse[5] entries in xorg.conf - removing one of them:

  InputDevice  "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
  InputDevice  "Mouse[3]" "SendCoreEvents"
#  InputDevice  "Mouse[5]" "SendCoreEvents"
  Screen       "Screen[0]"

Lets me use both my touch-pad, and 'nipple' simultaneously without problems: neat.

The real question is - why do I have 2 entries for the same mouse anyway ?

The xorg.conf was generated on this T60p with a plain 'sax2 -r', having installed the new radeonhd drivers.

Reassigning to our mouse expert. ;-)

This looks like a bug in SaX2 to me.

could you send the information from

   hwinfo --mouse 

and

   sysp -q mouse

thanks
