Public bug reported:
On upgrading from Edgy -> Feisty, initially, pressing the mouse centre
button brought up a volume control box and incremented the master volume
using the (installed) "ImPS/2" protocol. This behaviour went away for a
while after restoring the "ExplorerPS/2" protocol for my logitech
Mx/Laser 1000 mouse, but after this morning's update (3Apr) it has
returned.
I don't quite know how this has crept in, or whose idea it is, but it is
*extremely* aggravating to anyone that does the normal centre button
things like clicking on a link in firefox with the centre button to
obtain a page in a new tab (probably *the* original defining feature of
firefox over any other browser when it first came and now copied in IE7)
or doing X copy and paste in shell windows (which has been around since
X has been running on Linux).
Please would someone a) remove this as a default and b) publish the
workaround in the gnome menus (which is where I am presuming this is
happening).
Just in case it matters:-
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
# Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 7 6"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 8 9"
