problems with a usb mouse
in [Slackware]
|
From: Martin on 5 Aug 2010 16:12 I didn't have problems with previous versions of Slackware. Since 13.1 (or perhaps since the kernel that comes with 13.1) my mouse behaviour is very annoying. Basically, when I press the right button (to unfold the context menu) it immediately disappears. I have to press 5-7 times until it stays up and lets me choose an option. Sometimes after right-clicking, it also automatically 'clicks' on the first menu item (which results in creation of new folders, opening documents in their default program. I don't even touch the left button. My xorg.conf is: Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" The default options were different but the behaviour was exactly the same. It's a usb multi-button mouse, but I don't care about the functionality of the side buttons as I don't use them anyway. What matters is the right/left buttons and the scrollwheel. Also, the 'options psmouse proto=imps' is commented out in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf (It doesn't change anything when I enable that option anyway) Thank you in advance. Martin

I've already tried it. I've just double-checked it and it doesn't change anything with values "no" or "false" or the line completely commented out:( martin

I've noticed that I think since 2.6.33 (I think) on all my machines there's this mackintosh mouse button emulation, which in most cases messes the mouse's/touchpad functionality.
