help with my touchpad


Hey
I have installed Slackware 13.37 on my laptop(Fujitsu AH530) and I'm having problems with my touch pad.
It work good but sometimes it mistakenly clicks a middle click without my command. I am just using it with one finger but sometimes it pretends it is two finger click(and it is a middle click).
I have this problem in KDE and XFCE. I was wondering is there anything like "driver" for touch pads? like for VGA cards? if then, may it help to change my driver?
I am not such a great linuxer but I think the problem should be with driver.
And by the way, I don't have this problem in Windows 7.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem with mine and simply disabled the middle click. You may want to have a look at my thread about that topic to see how you can configure the touchpad.
