    Likewise with any of the other laptops that use a touchpad. I
    just installed  Debian on a Sony VAIO and am finding the
    touchpad pretty awkward. There are settings under MS Windows
    that allow things like a clock to simulate holding the mouse 
    button down that I would really like to see under X.

    I wonder where they would best go? Could something like that
    be added to 'gpm'? That seems like the most likely place.

    I did find a tool at http://www.compass.com/synaptics/
    that might help. At present, I have not gotten it working
    on the VAIO
