I have the latest installation of freebsd 5.4 on my laptop, kde & kdm 3.4. The 
laptop has a synaptic mousepad endowed of two buttons that in normal 
conditions are not used at all being enough to double-hit on the pad to have 
the same effect as that of pressing the left button.
Now at boot time I  enabled moused

# ps ax|grep moused
  493  ??  Ss     0:00.54 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto

And the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
................................................
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "Auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
.................................................

Now it happens that:

1) If I start kde as a user by means of the command startx (having put 
startkde into .xinitrc) the mouse(-pad) works as expected: I can move around 
the screen and select and launch programs just moving on the pad and double 
hitting the pad . No problems! In a nutshell no need to press the left 
button.

2) If at boot time I start kde by means of kdm having put in /etc/ttys: 
ttyv8   "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure

and modified /etc/pam.d as required to autologin, I immediatedly and 
automagically login into kde as a user and the mouse works BUT... with the 
pad I can only move around the screen and the double-hit doesn't work anymore 
so that I have to use the left button cumpulsorily (and annoyingly).

Why in your opinion is that crazy behavior and what should I do?

Ciao
Vittorio
