Or they could use some tweaking still. The two 1700 values seem a bit small and I've gotten some errant motion events with them. I'm using 2400 now and that seems to help. Meanwhile, there's still one additional feature I'd like to see in this area. This patch eliminates motion events in the button areas prior to clicking the click-pad. That's great. But I've found that when using doing a click-and-drag operation such as scrolling, and using the click-pad for the button while using the trackpoint for the motion, I'm getting errant motion from my thumb holding down the button. I think that motion after the click should be suppressed as well. In fact, I don't think this suppression even needs to be limited to a motion area. It seems to me that if the click-pad is fully depressed that all subsequent motion should be eliminated. My justification is that it's really awkward to intentionally try an accurate click-and-drag using the touchpad while maintaining sufficient force to keep the clickpad fully depressed. And meanwhile, the tap-and-drag support of the touchpad works great without ever depressing the full click-pad. I am assuming that these "clickable" touchpads exist only in conjunction with trackpoints, and that trackpoint-less machines have conventional touchpads without the clickability. Is that true? If so, I think it's easy to justify motion suppression from after a click and until the touchpad is released. Thanks, -Carl
