Notes from my (now marked as duplicate and hidden) bug.

I have a Dell Latitude D820 laptop. This pc has both a touchpad and a keyboard stick in the following configuration.

   | -pointing stick (on keyboard)
@@ - First set of mouse buttons
{ } - Touchpad
@@ - Second set of mouse buttons.

It doesn't work if I try to drag something using the pointing stick and the second set of mouse buttons. Selecting the item-to-be-dragged works fine, but when I touch the stick to move it, it interprets the movement as a double click.

The pointing stick and upper set of mouse buttons work fine, and both sets work fine on a Windows LiveCD, which should eliminate any hardware problems. I have the synaptics driver enabled in my xorg, conf, but I am not passing any options.

Unfortunately, I cannot say if this is a new behavior since gutsy, as I just started using the stick.

Thanks,
Ellie
