After (re)installing and configuring Mandrake, my right mouse button acts very
peculiar in KDE. It works fine in Gnome. I can click on the kdesktop fine
with the right button, but applications don't register right clicks at all
unless I click on the desktop first and then while that menu's still up click
on the application. If I run xev to test it, I get the usual:
ButtonPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
root 0x70, subw 0x0, time 17051425, (1,83), root:(842,619),
state 0x10, button 1, same_screen YES
ButtonRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
root 0x70, subw 0x0, time 17051558, (1,83), root:(842,619),
state 0x110, button 1, same_screen YES
for button one, and all three buttons for the middle (scroll) button are also
normal (the middle button works fine everywhere) , but the right button says
this when I click it:
EnterNotify event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
root 0x70, subw 0x0, time 17170345, (2,116), root:(843,652),
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor, same_screen YES,
focus YES, state 16
and this when I release it:
KeymapNotify event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 112 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
If I right click on the desktop and then on the testing area I get:
Expose event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
(0,149), width 166, height 4, count 0
ButtonRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
root 0x70, subw 0x0, time 17281675, (175,10), root:(1016,546),
state 0x410, button 3, same_screen YES
So the button release is normal but not the press. However, the presses
register as well as the releases in applications.
I also discovered that if I hold down the left button and then click the right
button, I get (the first button press, of course, and then) a normal result:
ButtonPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
root 0x70, subw 0x0, time 17371334, (93,8), root:(934,544),
state 0x110, button 3, same_screen YES
ButtonRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
root 0x70, subw 0x0, time 17373625, (93,8), root:(934,544),
state 0x510, button 3, same_screen YES
I really have no idea what's going on here. It can't be an interrupt problem,
since all the rest of the mouse buttons come through fine. It seems like the
proper signal is practically identical, only with 3 instead of 1 or 2 for the
left and middle buttons. I've tried fiddling around with different mouse
drivers, of course, but they've all got the same problem in KDE. Any ideas?
