Hi everyone. I've searched lists archives and Google for this problem, but I don't seem to come up with much. Most of the posts I see are about mouse wheels not working at all after updating to Xorg 6.9.0. Mine works and scrolls up and down, but there is odd behavior when scrolling UP using the wheel. After updating to 6.9.0, whenever I move the wheel up it does scroll up like it's supposed to, however it also acts like a left mouse button is being pressed at the same time. It's somewhat hard to explain but here is an example: I'm going through my inbox in Thunderbird and I start scrolling up using the wheel to see messages. In addition to going up the list, it's also selecting all the emails that my mouse pointer happens to touch when I move the wheel up. Another example: I'm in Firefox viewing a website. I take my mouse pointer and hover over a link or a bookmark on my bookmarks bar. I keep my mouse over it and roll the wheel up once. It selects that link or button and goes to it as if I had left clicked on it. I've tried various suggestions from around the net such as playing with xmodmap, trying different values in my xorg.conf, restarting the machine, etc. This problem only has started since upgrading to Xorg 6.9.0 via portupgrade. Here is the mouse portion of my Xorg.conf that has worked for months up until the upgrade: ---------------- Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection ---------------- ...and an output of xmodmap -pp ---------------- There are 9 pointer buttons defined. Physical Button Button Code 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 ---------------- I don't have any moused flags in my rc.conf. My mouse is a Microsoft Intellimouse with left button, right button, left side button, right side button, and wheel. I have not had to work with xmodmap any in the past since it always worked with the "Buttons" and "ZAxisMapping" in xorg.conf, so I'm not sure if that 9 button info is correct. Thanks in advance. -Mark FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE [amd64] -- GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941)
