[maemo-developers] how to disable right-click (tap and hold) event?

[From: Tomàs Jiménez Lozano]

Here we are again trying to disable or at least configure the
tap-and-hold event.

I've been looking desesperately for some kind of configuration files for
the X server shipped with ITOS2007 but I've found nothing.

Google helped me to discover that the X server is started in a script
called at /etc/init-d/x-server and it is configured by command line
arguments.

I've checked all the command line arguments and discovered that things
like keyboard's autorepeat delay time are configurable by command line
arguments. Nothing about tap-and-hold configuration, however.

Xserver is started with a "-mouse tslib" option and now I am going to
follow that clue have a look at xserver-xomap and tslib source code
packages.

As you may have noticed I am not an expert in X servers, device drivers
and so on and this is becoming quite hard for me.

I would really thank anyone pointing me in the rigth way.

Regards,

Tomàs Jiménez
