Package: xorg Version: 1:7.1.0-19 After the X server has been up for some random amount of time the scroll wheel mapping on my two-wheel mouse (Trust AmiTrack trackball configured using ExplorerPS2 protocol - same thing happens using IMPS2) goes to cock. The vertical wheel becomes a horizontal wheel and the horizontal wheel becomes a double-spacing horizontal wheel.
This often, but not invariably, happens when scrolling a page in the browser that has not fully loaded and the browser is chugging while it loads and not responding immediately to scroll events. Sometimes it happens after X has been up only a few minutes. Sometimes it takes several days at the same level of activity before it happens. The only cure is to restart X - and with it all the applications - major PITA. Restarting gpm, or unplugging and replugging the mouse, does nothing. When it happens the following message appears in Xorg.0.log: (II) Mouse autoprobe: Disabling secondary wheel xorg.conf mouse section reads: Section "InputDevice" # Identifier and driver Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" # Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" # Option "Protocol" "auto" # Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 5 4" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off" EndSection As you can see I have tried various protocol options, and have tried reading direct vs. reading via gpm -Rraw; with the latter I have tried the same protocol options in gpm. The behaviour is the same in all cases. I still get the "autoprobe" log message even when not using "Protocol" "auto". Mouse uses PS/2 port, kernel is custom 2.6.10. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons - - Pigeon's Nest: http://pigeonsnest.co.uk/ GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
