Yes, I use the XTest extension to do the clicks. The problem is that when
you're touching the touchpad, that's where the pointer will normally be
moved, and I don't think X supports two pointers to have at two different
places. That's why I have to draw a fake pointer.

When you click the "L" or "R" buttons, the pointer is now free and I can
move it to the location of the fake pointer to simulate the click.

It is possible. For example<br>
<br>
$ xte &quot;mousemove 10 10&quot;<br>
<br>
moves mouse pointer to 10+10 and<br>
<br>
$ xte &quot;mouseclick 1&quot;<br>
