On my thinkpad this is a very useful script sometimes...
touchpad/trackpoint in thinkpads under linux are not so good, however
there is always a workaround :))
Palmdetect is working for you?

Hi,
I just rebooted my Thinkpad X240 for the first time in a few weeks,
and now clicking the touchpad doesn't behave properly. I assume a yum
update since the last reboot has changed something, and not in a good
way. If I click the edge of the pad I get the correct
left/middle/right button kind of behaviour, but if I click in the
middle of the pad I get quirky results. I used to get the effect of a
left mouse button.
Is this a regression, or has something purposefully changed which
means I need to alter the xorg configuration files?
Regards,
Steve
