Well i bought an MSI Wind and i never use a laptop before, so Im getting used to the touchpad, one thing I can't figure out nor find in google is how to simulate a middle click, so i can copy paste from urxvt to say firefox, i found a lot of forum topics about that but the general answer was to use middle click... (obviously) and install autocutsel, i install it and run it, but i don't understand why is not working, i copy text selecting it in urxvt and in firefox address bar or forms i press ctrl+ins for paste but it doesn't the text i previously selected in urxvt, it pastes the last ctrl+c contents in any X app...
also i miss to open firefox tabs with the middle mouse click as a new background tab, i read somewhere it can be possible with touchpads pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but the wind has only one left/right button, so you can only press one at the time, but not both
Im using X with hal hotplugging enabled

I belive that the developers of the touchpad driver could help you. Perhaps you should check out their forum.

Also, read the mswind.net wiki with linux installation guides. Here is archlinux guide:

As far as pasting between urxvt and Firefox, I needed to run two instances of autocutsel in order to get the desired effect on my machine. Here's a snippet from my .xinitrc:
...
/usr/bin/autocutsel -selection CLIPBOARD -fork &
/usr/bin/autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork &
...
