DES DES, i'm not quite sure this is the source of my issue as i have no an intellimouse (pls see my original message). m. DES, Not sure if this issue has been worked out yet on your end, but if you're speaking strictly of firefox you can open up a browser window, type in about:config in the browser location bar, then type in "middle" for your filter, find the option that says loadContentURL and set it to false. It's an annoying setting for all X11 people (since middle mouse button stuff is devoted as pasting for some odd reason), but I guess that was thought to be a useful option by the Mozilla people for some odd reason. Turning it off will disable the seemingly random google searching/url loading. Also, the ZAxismapping thing helps define layout for the mouse buttons. Depending on what order you choose, your behavior of your mouse will differ. Loading up xev will help you "catch" events for your mouse and determine what button is what on your intellimouse, then properly map the buttons to match any desired behavior you have. For instance, I have a 5 button intellimouse right now and the button mapping in Gentoo for ZAxisMapping is "4 5"; however, when I did have a 7 button intellimouse, the AFAIK the line was for ZAxisMapping was "6 7 4 5". The protocol used in xorg.conf for both cases is "ExplorerPS/2", because the other protocol mappings did not work as well for me for some odd reason. These ZAxisMapping settings combined with xmodmap and the imwheel daemon, a third-party program for capturing mouse events (which is only required in Linux and not FreeBSD IIRC), allows me to use the forward and back buttons in firefox and thunderbird, which is all of the functionality that I really want with my extra mouse buttons. There are plenty of documents out there to help you configure your intellimouse, mostly in the Gentoo world because it seems like more of that crowd has had problems with setting up their intellimice ;). Please note that not all items in howtos and help documents will apply to FreeBSD if you look at Gentoo items though...

There may - I repeat, _may_ - be another complication. Recently (after the first of the year, I think) MS brought out a new (USB) IntelliMouse Explorer. It looks more or less like the old one, but works on a slightly different protocol. Basic mouse functions work under Windows ME with the old driver (the new driver knows only XP); under Xorg 6.9 some things are off by just a little bit. For example: trying to grab the corner of a window to resize it, I'm frequently presented with a window manager (fvwm2) menu. If, however, I grab about one-sixteenth of an inch above the corner suddenly the resize works.

I had some problem very recently that sounds similar. I came to the conclusion that xorg wasn't playing nice with moused(8), which I run for console use. Killing moused before entering a X session is my current workaround. I need to find time to look into it more, but May or may not be the same issue; I wholeheartedly agree with 'very annoying', though!

No. They do, however, establish additional conditions under which the same problem happens, which may be useful for more capable folks attempting to diagnose the root cause(s). > and, as i couldn't find them in xorg.conf(5), what do "Buttons" > and "ChordMiddle" do ?? They are, apparently, obselete. The file was originally generated by XFree86, and has not had more than minor adjustments since. I included the entire section for diagnostic purposes. "ChordMiddle" was an option for two-button mice, in which clicking both buttons simultaneously would cause the software to simulate a middle-button click.

X11 6.9 issue -- option "ZAxisMapping" -- "4 5" vs "4 5 6 7"
hello list! i've just upgraded X11 from 6.8.2 to 6.9.0 and run into the following issue: [note that this was first noticed in seamonkey..] if i scroll my mouse wheel too fast, i'm suddenly moving in history instead of scrolling the page. one quick finger movement is enough to trigger this. very annoying. so it seems to me that the events are interpreted as horizontal movements. i have 1-wheel mouse of the following type, though: kernel: ums0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/11.10, addr 2, iclass 3/1 kernel: ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir. and i found out that the new option introduced in X11 6.9 broke it: Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"# ++ 2005-01-18 mato #Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"#!!! the first version (3rd line) was added manually by me long time ago, while the 2nd version (4th line) was automatically generated by new X11 with `Xorg -configure`. since i reverted it from "4 5 6 7" back to "4 5" scrolling just works again like charm. note that i'm running freebsd 6.1-rc, after just reinstalling all my ports from scratch. any thoughts or suggestions pls ?? cheers, martin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
