ok, i thougth this was a dead issue because i got it resolved, BUT..... i got a new mouse yesterday, upgraded from a regular 2 button mouse to a Logitech mouse with the scroll wheel, and it's one of those optical mice, so no more ball in the bottom to get gunked up :) anyway, now i've got some more problems..... first, i can't paste into a GAIM IM window with the mouse. i can use CTRL V to do it, but can't use the mouse buttons to do it. i can, however, use the right button to paste anything else in any window. so maybe i have something set wrong, but i can't quite put my finger on it. i've played with all the settings i can find, and i went in and told the mdk control center i was using a different mouse (it didn't change anything when i booted up the system). the second issue i'm having is that the scroll wheel doesn't scroll. i've done some google searches for an answer but all i can find says that it needs to be told the scroll wheel's movement is the 4th and 5th mouse buttons, but i can't find anything that says how to change that. but my best guess is that making the scroll wheel act like it's buttons 3, 4, and 5 will solve the scrolling problem. anyone know what i have to do to make it do this? the third issue is the mouse is kinda sketchy. now i do have 2 dogs and a cat, and they do shed quite a bit, and i've seen that when the optical part picks up a stray hair, the mouse will be a little sketchy. but there have been a few other times that it's been clean in there and it was a little sketchy. is there a fix for this? help greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
