César, Hemanti: I've uploaded a 0.4 package for both of you to test. In only adds two things -- some debug output and a reset prior to initialization.

César, what I need from you is for you to open a terminal, make it full screen, and ensure it has focus. Generate the stray middle click problem and stop touching the touchpad as soon as it happens. Then, without touching the touchpad, run the command "dmesg > dmesg-stray-click.txt". Then attach the dmesg-stray-click.txt file here.

Hemanti, I added a reset before initializing the touchpad to see if it gets your hardware out of whatever goofy state it's in following a reboot. I really don't know why this happens (I don't see it on any of the machines I'm testing with), but the reset might help. Please test and let me know.

Everyone else: unless you are experiencing one of the problems César or Hemanti are seeing and want to help debug, just stick with the 0.3 version.
