it's related to the trackpad default setting, tapping on the trackpad is set to be a doublke-click, annoying.... you can fix this usig the trackpad_tol program, it's a tinny program, that allow you to set the behavior of the trackpad. take a look at <URL:http://xenu.phys.uit.no/~alvin/linux/pbg3.html> the source code is here <URL:http://xenu.phys.uit.no/~alvin/linux/trackpad_tool.tar.gz> Eric -- Je veux acheter un boomerang neuf.
