I read up on https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/input/input.txt and tested with "evtest" for the RollerMouse and can see that the kernel emits proper events, as far as I understand.
### Single left click button Event: time 1525013249.812780, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001 Event: time 1525013249.812780, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1 Event: time 1525013249.812780, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Event: time 1525013249.936782, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001 Event: time 1525013249.936782, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 0 Event: time 1525013249.936782, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ ### Double click button Event: time 1525013251.656770, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001 Event: time 1525013251.656770, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1 Event: time 1525013251.656770, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Event: time 1525013251.660700, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001 Event: time 1525013251.660700, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 0 Event: time 1525013251.660700, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Event: time 1525013251.664778, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001 Event: time 1525013251.664778, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 1 Event: time 1525013251.664778, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ Event: time 1525013251.668782, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001 Event: time 1525013251.668782, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 0 Event: time 1525013251.668782, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------ What is inbetween what the kernel emits to /dev/input/eventX and what is registered by "xev" and "xinput"? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-signed in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767660 Title: Regression 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS: rollermouse double click button no longer result in double click "event" Status in linux-signed package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: ### Expected behaviour My "Contour Design RollerMouse Free 2" has a specific button for double click. This button should with one physical click result in double click (button press, button release, button press and button release). This works as expected without issues in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 4.4.0-119-generic #143-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 2 16:08:24 UTC 2018 x86_64 ### Experienced behaviour Only one mouse click is registered (button press and button release).
