[kb1605 <kb1605@xxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,
i have found a solution that at least works for me, but I am m pretty sure that it will also work for most of you guys.I Use Ubuntu 10.04 and have an eGalaxy USB-Touchpannel(Driver: eGalaxTouch-3.00.3719)

Of course the first step was to install the eGalaxy drivers as mentioned by "cmd_", quote:
"With 10.04 rc, setup.sh from the eGalax driver needs a few modifications to proper install:
-blacklist file points to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, -> change to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
-install script fail if xorg.conf file doesn't exist, -> create file
-install script also fail if ServerLayout section in xorg.conf isn't present, -> add section"

Maximka's way of fixing the problem is right.Here is what I have done, step by step:
sya@7up:~$ xinput -list 
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad                	id=15	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation        	id=16	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ egalax                                  	id=6	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ eGalax Inc. Touch                       	id=11	[slave  pointer  (2)]
As you can see "xinput-list" showas two egalaxy devices, 
by using the command: <xinput -test "egalax"> and <xinput -test "eGalax Inc. Touch"> I recognized that the false click to the upper left corner is done by the device with the name "eGalax Inc. Touch".

So the next step is to deactivate this device, by taking a look at the device properties with the command:
 <xinput -list-props "eGalax Inc. Touch">  and afterwards deactivating the device with the command:
 <xinput -set-prop "eGalax Inc. Touch" "Device Enabled" 0 >.

Now the mousepointer moves correctly and there are no false clicks to the upper left corner. 
In my case I also had to start the eGalaxyTouch configuation program and change the "mouse mode" to "click on touch".
