[gpm]ultranav problem

[Brad Langhorst]

I'm using a thinkpad T40p with an ultranav trackpad/stick.
I observe a strange behaviour with the CVS version of GPM 
(checked out today)

the ultranav setup has 5 mouse buttons - 
left right and middle on above the touchpad
and left and right below the touchpad

when i use the lower buttons all is as expected
however i am unable to use the upper left button for anything but a
click (ie dragging or selecting text).  It seems like the button is
being released and re-pressed many times a second when the upper left
button is held down .  If you read way to the bottom you'll see two
sections corresponding to 5 second click and hold for upper left and
lower left.

I ran gpm with the debug on and get what follows when i attempt to drag.

I don't know how to interpret the 19 vs 18 
could that be the problem? or do those values just correspond to which
button is pressed?

upper left follows:

PS I was very unhappy to get this bounce message
I'm on a laptop and ususally use sendmail instead of
smtp to send outgoing mail because i change networks 
a lot ...  yeah spammers use dynamic ips but so do lots of 
non scum.  Thats like saying spammers live in china so ill 
just block all mail from china.
