I had the same problem with the scroll wheel (as well as the back and
forward buttons on the sides of my mouse) and am wondering if it's not
more of a configuration error in xorg.conf?
Many of the mice on the market today use more than 5 buttons in fact, my
mouse is a standard Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 and it has 9
buttons (Right, Left, Back, Forward, scroll up, scroll down, press
scroll button, move scroll button left, move scroll button right, = 9).
I used a different mouse for a test to see if this could really be the
case. I had an old GE Optical Mouse WK2803 (wired to usb) and it has 7
buttons. (Right, Left, Back, Forward, scroll up, scroll down, press
scroll button in = 7)
When I changed my xorg.conf to look like the snip below, everything
worked perfectly. Even the number of scroll lines seemed to immediately
change to the default of 3 per scroll.
begin copy
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "9" <-- for my GE
mouse, I changed this to 7 and everything worked again.
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection
end copy
Could it possibly be that simple as putting in the correct number of
buttons in the xorg.conf and not a bug at all?
Thank you for your time.
