FS#220 - USB Mouse 1.8.2

Installed 1.8.2 on an HP Pavilion, the touch pad is fine but when the USB mouse is plugged in it won’t pull up application menu’s, or it will pull them up REAL fast and then close them when you release the button. What they do seems consistant of the application like Firefox3 won’t pull up the pull down menu’s where as Pidgin will come up with menu’s but hide them when you let go of the mouse button.

This is new when 1.8.2 was installed from previous version.

this bug is also in the 1.8.8

the usb mouse click acts like a double-click... if i click on a program in the menu, it get’s opened twice

real problem... the users with usb mice are really put away because of this

please raise the level of urgency on this bug

Im sorry, this bug doesn’t affects to everybody, i have never see this problem (and i have some usb mouses), what is your mouse model ?

see if this problem still after to use the xorg.conf of Elive Gem (so copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf logout from X and relogin again, if you go back to entrance you should break the graphical system (with ctrl + alt + backspace) in order to reload it totally)

i have a logitech wireless usb mouse (v200 or something)... there are several things that are wrong, for example:

* clicking on network manager icon on lower left with usb mouse results in nothing... synaptic mouse tap or click results in the list of wireless access points
* clicking+holding on the header of a window to move it results in making the window into a small strip (same as double-clicking the touchpad mouse)

i have no idea why it acts like this... the same problem occurs with dell usb mouse (wired)

this is my xorg.conf:

any ideas?

more info: i’m running elive 1.8.8 on dell inspiron 1520... and the usb wireless mouse was attached while installing... maybe that was a bad idea?

can anyone point out if i should change something in the xorg.conf? since i have done nothing miself, this is how elive configured it

no, the usb mouse plugged between the installation not matters

Ok, there’s a problem, the system thinks that there’s a double mouse or a kind of similar thing and is neeed to found the cause :)

There’s a daemon for mouses in terminales, we can try to disable it: /etc/init.d/gpm stop , if that doesn’t affects, try to remove the package and reboot

If that still not working, try to edit your xorg.conf commenting the last line InputDevice “Synaptics Touchpad” and also the entire touchpad section, then restart the graphical system (ctrl + alt + backspace in entrance to reload it entirely), if still not works, try the same thing with the mouse section instead of the synaptics one

I hope this does any result useful... waiting your news

fixed it :) thanks!

commenting out all the mouse sections worked, xorg.conf that works:

but i still don’t understand why elive configured xorg like this

Admin
thanatermesis commented on 14.09.2008 14:46

because has a template preconfigured for touchpads :)

Tell me, what happens if you comment only the “mouse” section of serverlayout and no the entire mouse section ?

This bug is listed on debian BTS, we should look what to do with this problem after the release of debian stable (see if is fixed in this report then) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497708

meborc commented on 15.09.2008 06:29

to my surprise, the usb mouse works fine when i only comment out the mouse section from the server layout!

so i only need to comment 1 line after elive installation ;)

Admin
thanatermesis commented on 15.09.2008 10:25

Ok, this problem is fixed for the next build, please try 1.8.9 when is released and close this report if the bug is no longer in Elive :)

Thanks for your reports!
