I am using a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer in xwindows on FreeBSD
6.2-RELEASE.
The mouse works correctly (except for the side buttons - I'll worry
about those later), but the mouse wheel has some odd behaviour in apps
like firefox and thunderbird. Scrolling down works correctly, but
scrolling up seems to send a button click as well as a scroll event.
I played around with xev and found that when scrolling up, a button4
event is (correctly) sent, but then any other action sends a button9 and
button8 event as well. Scrolling down only sends a button5 event which
is correct. Here is the relevant section in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
#Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
I added the `Option "Buttons" "5"' line hoping to remove the possibility
of button 8 and 9 existing, but it didn't seem to work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ xmodmap -pp
There are 9 pointer buttons defined.
Physical Button
Button Code
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
Then I tried mapping the button 8 and 9 keys to other buttons, but
xmodmap didn't allow it.
Also, I'm not running moused if that is significant. Does anyone have
any suggestions? I have seen some similar questions on forums and the
mailing list archives, but no definitive solutions. Any help would be
great.
Thanks,
Jon
