Odd problem with trackpad buttons on Dell d600.


I have Debian Squeeze with LXDE installed on my Dell d600 laptop.

I'm having an odd issue with the trackpad and buttons.

When I click on anything, like a link, or a menu, or a file, or whatever, very often nothing happens until I move the cursor with the trackpad. Until I move the cursor, the computer doesn't recognize that I've clicked the trackpad button.

It's not a big problem, just a little inconvenient. It's most inconvenient when I'm playing a game that requires quick reaction time, like a real-time strategy game for example.

Do I need a special driver (I'm just using the standard mouse driver right now), and/or are there any lines I need to add to xorg.conf?

Thanks in advance!
