I am not familair with the Aspire 5610 but on most laptops there should be 2 buttons immediately above or below the touchpad itself. Leave the text highlighted and lightly move the cursor to the other xterm/application. To paste depress both buttons simultaneously.
Xterm does not normally use a clipboard but will put highlighted text into a buffer from which it will paste - no need for a copy step. If you loose the highlighted text attempting to move the cursor there will be nothing in the buffer to paste.
