Annoying trackpad behaviour in the iBook 2

[Rogério Brito <rbrito@iname.com>]

	Dear people,

	Some weeks ago, I got myself a new iBook 600 combo and it
	works well, but I still have one problem with it, namely, its
	trackpad behaviour.

	I happen to actually like tapping in the trackpad area for
	double clicks and dragging windows. I don't like the "lock"
	behaviour, which requires me an extra "click" to "drop the
	windows".

	But here comes my problem: when I use "trackpad drag", say I
	double-tap the title bar of a window, drag it to the desired
	position and lift my finger from the trackpad.

	After I lift my finger from the trackpad, the mouse cursor is
	still kept in the "move mode" for an amount of time, before it
	reverts to the "pointing mode", i.e, the window is not
	"dropped".  During this (short, but annoying) delay, it seems
	that the events that I generate in the trackpad are ignored.

	I would prefer that the cursor changed from the "move move" to
	the "pointing mode" as soon as I lifted my finger from the
	trackpad. Is it possible to change this behaviour via software
	or is it a limitation of the hardware?


	Thanks for any help, Roger...
