2 Ubuntu Questions

[M4A1]

Try changing "/dev/input/mice" to "/dev/psaux" ... also do sudo modprobe psmouse ...

what does that change? just curious...

I replaced it, same problem.

If I double click an icon, it will load it but after try to drag it elsewere on the desktop. Help?

I had the same mouse problem and I fixed it. Change these sections to look exactly like mine.

Section "InputDevice"

• Identifier "Configured Mouse"
  Driver "mouse"
  Option "CorePointer" "false"
  Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
  Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
  Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"

EndSection

and also this one:

Section "ServerLayout"

• Identifier "Default Layout"
  Screen "Default Screen"
  InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
  InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"

EndSection

I'm not sure what causes the problem, and why this fixes it, but it works.


Also, I have Ubuntu 6.06.1 and XGL/Compiz working. I would not recommend doing it with an ATi card, as they are a royal pain in the arse.

Still not working. Same problem as stated in the first post.

Why did this start to happen for no reason one day, and continue on?

What's my mouse drag + drop threshold supposed to be on?

I love ubuntu i dont want to switch back to XP cause the **** thing keeps on freezing on me.

Try a different mouse, try PS/2 instead of USB or vise versa.

 

[M4A1]

I'm using my laptop keypad. No USB/PS2 connection.

Ohh ... I have no experience with Linux and keypads. Could have been giving you terrible advice.

Plug a mouse in and see if it has the same problem, if so, then we know it's a problem with the X configuration.

You're probably having problem with the tab feature with these mouse pad.

Here's my xorg.conf section for my mouse pad

[code
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
Option "Name" "Synaptics;Touchpad"
Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "0"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection
[/code]

Adding MaxTapTime & Vert and HorizScrollDelta to 0 took away the annoying things about the mouse pad on my laptop.
