Something is wierd about my mouse at work. It's a "compaq" mouse, which is basically just a generic Logitech scroll mouse. Whenever I click on a link, button, etc it will get stuck in the click until I move the mouse and then it lets off and loads whatever I clicked.

I've tried a couple different mice and they all do it... Not sure what to think.

Has anyone else run into this?





*EDIT: XF86Config for mouse.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "Resolution" "270"
EndSection

have you tried the same mouse on another computer to verify whether or not it is hardware related?

In all browsers?

Yeah, I mean it wasn't doing it when I had Win2k on that computer, and other mice do the same thing.

It doesn't do it in just browsers. It does it all over the system in KDE, gnome, Flux/Black box.

Since you have 2 InputDevice sections, do you actually have two mice connected?

I would say it's either hardware (not necessarily the mouse) or X related since it happens in KDE, Gnome etc.

See if there are any options to fix this in the setterm and xset manpages.

No, I just have one mouse. Every Linux install I've ever done has had 2 mice in the XF86Config, so I figured this was just normal... Should I delete one of them out?

I'll poke around and see what I can see... Noticed today that when I do a right click it often counts one click as a double click when I move the mouse, so it's hard to get into the right click menus. =(

Try commenting out the InputDevice section you are not using and also the one line from


Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "A4-Tech" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Glidepoint" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Cirque_IC" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection


that references the correct InputDevice.
