[Bug 317025] Re: Scroll ball will not scroll horizontally
The problem still exists in Ubuntu 13.10. I was unable to do the requested test in the daily build because the daily build is not functional enough. Booting from the live CD, the mouse did no initially work. I had to unplug it and plug it back in before I could click on the try ubuntu button. Once Ubuntu started, I had no menus at all. I had two icons: Install Ubuntu and examples. Clicking on the examples icon brought up a file browser in a fixed sized window with no window decorations (no maximize, no minimize, no close button) I found a way to run firefox, it also had no window decorations. In an attempt to get a window up with a horizontal scroll bar, I tried typing a URL, and found that the keyboard was not working. At this point I realized I could do nothing usefull with this live CD, ejected it and hit the reset button on my computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317025 Title: Scroll ball will not scroll horizontally To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/317025/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected possible-manual-nvidia-install ubuntu ** Description changed: This is similar to a bunch of other horizontal scroll does not work bugs, but I did not find any of those that were close enough that I could call this a duplicate. The mouse is a Compaq CPQ750TP. It shows up as Acrox USB PS/2 Mouse when plugged into the PC directly, and ATEN CS1784 when plugged into my KVM (it works identically regardless how it is plugged in). The mouse has a scroll ball and 5 buttons. I have spent quite some time attempting to get the horizontal scrolling to work. I have the following in a .fdi file in the /etc/hal/fdi/policy directory: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? deviceinfo version=0.2 device match key=info.product string=Acrox USB amp; PS/2 Mouse merge key=input.x11_options.XAxisMapping type=string6 7/merge /match /device device match key=info.product string=ATEN CS1784 merge key=input.x11_options.ButtonMapping type=string1 2 3 4 5 10 11 8 9 6 7/merge merge key=input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons type=string0/merge merge key=input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton type=string0/merge merge key=input.x11_options.XAxisMapping type=string10 11/merge /match /device /deviceinfo Horizontal scrolling works perfectly on Windows 2000 (different computer, same KVM mouse) Attempting to scroll horizontally in Ubuntu gets fast vertical scrolling. If I monitor events with xinput test 4 Left button maps to button 1, middle button (pushing down on ball) maps to button 2, right button maps to button 3 left side button maps to button 8, right button maps to button 9, vertical scroll with ball maps to buttons 4 5, horizontal scroll with ball also maps to buttons 4 5, but each event is repeated 7 times. It appears as if horizontal scrolling should be mapping to buttons 6 7. The hal file above was an attempt at a work arround to remap 6 7 to 10 11, but the remapping to 4 5 is still happening.

DAP, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

[Bug 317025] Re: Scroll ball will not scroll horizontally
This bug still exists on 10.04. I guess technically it is more a case of incomplete support for this type of mouse. One must send a command to this mouse to get it out of compatibility mode and enable the extra features. I tried to look at the source code for this, but found it rather opaque and do not understand it yet (let alone know where all of it is, or how it is interconnected). -- Scroll ball will not scroll horizontally https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have attached a USB dump captured with Snoopypro on windows for the CPQ750TB mouse. Unfortunately you will need Snoopypro and windows to read this. I intend to attempt to figure out what is going on here, but if someone who has more than zero experience with this kind of thing takes a look, it will probably go faster. ** Attachment added: CPQ750TP.usblog http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28950211/CPQ750TP.usblog -- Scroll ball will not scroll horizontally https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 317025] Re: Scroll ball will not scroll horizontally
I did an experiment that makes me believe that this is more of an unsupported feature than an actual bug. I took the A4tech mouse, that is a PS/2 mouse, and plugged it into a PS/2 to USB converter, and ran that through a KVM. This means that Ubuntu has no idea that this is the same mouse tested before. All other USB mice converted horizontal scrolling to 7 times faster vertical scrolling. This mouse, no matter how it is hooked up, converts horizontal scrolling to 2 times faster vertical scrolling. So this proves to me that the mouse driver is not converting the horizontal scrolling into vertical scrolling, but the mouse itself. So, either there needs to be a command sent to the mouse to change its behavior, or the driver is not interpreting the data from the horizontal scrolling correctly. When I looked at the USB data under windows, vertical scrolling was either a +1 or -1 in the scroll data. I never saw anything else there. I'm guessing that in the default mode, USB mice are reporting +7 or -7 in this same byte for horizontal scrolling. In the mode that Windows activates, it appears that the mouse sends all zeros (via an interrupt transaction) which is an indication to the driver that it needs to ask the mouse (via a bulk transfer) to see what actually happened. Could someone please point me at the source code for whatever part of Linux handles the mouse? I'd like to have a look at it. -- Scroll ball will not scroll horizontally https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I went and tested a bunch of other mice that should have horizontal
scrolling. All of them but the Kensington slimblade mouse have their
horizontal scrolling converted into high speed vertical scrolling. The
