I've just done a from-scratch reinstallation of FreeBSD 4.3 with
XFree86 4.0.2 on a Sony Vaio laptop with an ALPS glidepoint
touchpad. (I don't know how much of this is relevant.) If I run
"moused -3 -p /dev/psm0" the mouse works find in the system console
mode. But then using the following mouse definitions in XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "SysMouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
# ...
Section "ServerLayout"
# The Identifier line must be present
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
I diagnose the following problem with the help of xev: ButtonRelease
events are not being received until the next ButtonPress or
MotionNotify event.
If I kill moused and run the server as 'XFree86 -layout "Raw Mouse Device"'
with the following sections added to XF86Config, everything works
great, including taps on the touchpad being interpretted as button 1:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "100"
EndSection
# ...
Section "ServerLayout"
# The Identifier line must be present
Identifier "Raw Mouse Device"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
So I don't know if this is a problem in moused or in X ..
