Re: [Cooker] Cooker Mouse Support

[newslett]

First, I am not 12 years old so you do not need to make smart ass remarks to be understood. Second, I am not a coder but a dedicated ML user and cooker beta tester so even if I am missing something, don't bash me as MAYBE, just maybe some of the things I have problems with other people do too and they just might need to be addressed by the cooker team.

Now, to reply to your hypothesis and questions (barbs included):

Jason,

Many people have been using a PS2 wheel mouse for years,
I'd say to make a rhyme from tail to ears

That may be so, but it must not be an Intellimouse or it is different from mine, as the generic driver most definitely will not work.  And yes, I ran mousedrake and tried it.  It killed my mouse and I had to either manually change my setup in /etc/sysconfig or use command line harddrake (which by the way is awesome, since I couldn''t use the graphical version as my mouse was dead).  Besides, if you look in mousedrake, under serial options there is an Intellimouse specific driver.  Under ps2, there isn't, even if the generic driver worked as you assume (which it doesn't), doesn't it make more sense to have a mouse specific driver under ps2?

How did you come to these conclusions? Did you use mousedrake, did you
try to read at least some sort of documentation? Maybe man mouse is not
the best part to start with, though ;-)

mousedrake gives you a 'generic ps2 wheel mouse' choice. Did you try
this? You should... I think.

Yes to all of the above.

I dislike double-click. One of the rare things I prefer in Windows is
that a single click can be set to start an app. I wish Gnome could let
me do that (maybe it can). Just for info, the middle button has been
used for ages to paste in unix like OSes. Just highlight something with
the mouse and paste it anywhere else with the middle button. One of the
simple reasons I switched.

You obviously missed my point entirely. Maybe you dislike double click but we have to live with it, doesn't it make sense to simplify things by setting 1 mousebutton to perform this function?  I KNOW how the middle click is set to work in default mode, I know middle click is supported and in most apps, the scroll function too.  I also know about *NIX cutting and pasting.  My whole point is that button mapping controls should include the option to make the scroll middle click act as a *double-click* instead.  That way, when I need to double click on something, I can simply hit my scroll mouse middle button.  Unless I missed something, this cannot be setup in KDE or MCC (doesn't even have a button mapping config. tool I'm aware of) mouse button mapping.


Anyone else run into the same thing.

Regards to the cooker team who are doing an AWESOME job.

Jason
