When I highlight text and go to paste it by pressing both buttons at the
same time it only works 10% of the time. The majority of the time it
fails (don't paste anything).
When it fails, if I immediately press just the left mouse button about
1/2 the time it will paste.
I don't know if this is recent or not as I just recently started using
2.6 full time and I haven't used all the revisions.

First off do not use ACPI PM timer...
Also, could you please tell me if it's X or GPM and what's in your "InputDevices"
section of XFConfig and what parameters are you passing to GPM.
Thank you,
Dmitry

I have these two entries (stock Fedora and what worked with 2.4):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "DevInputMice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
------
My GPM invocation: gpm -m /dev/mouse -t ps/2
(/dev/mouse is symlink to /dev/psaux)

Here is your other trouble - /dev/input/mice gets data from _all_
mouse-like devices in 2.6 so your touchpad data is processed twice.
Drop the first input section and set "Emulate3Buttons" on 2nd - it
does not hurt if your mouse has 3+ buttons.
Good luck,
Dmitry

Ok, it's a bit late here and I can't read anymore... Actually in 2.6
/dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice are synonims (different device node
numbers but the same underlying device).
Anyway, your touchpad data is still processed twice ;)
