Ok. I'm not going to do clean install of kubuntu hardy heron (8.04) since the mouse wheel problem is back. Fortunately I found out how it fixed itself - I've to plug in USB Logitech RumblePad 2 joystick, reboot laptop and unplug the joystick (remove the joystick) as soon as I see the BIOS screen. This way the mousewheel acts normally in kubuntu 8.04 until the odd behavior comes back after some time, certain actions(?).
In short: plug in joystick reboot kubuntu 8.04 unplug the joystick then I see BIOS screen mouse works ok until some action(s) returns the odd behavior (I'm not sure at this point what resets bug) repeat the cycle - this has no effect for kubuntu 8.10 intrepid; also mouse works fine without any tricks in kubuntu 7.10 gutsy -- sdl and evdev for mice does not work (xorg 1.4) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189958 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
