Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I had the same problem when I backported xorg 7.3 to Debian etch (also some keycodes were broken -- Up arrow). evdev input device is interfering in some way so I purged it and now it works with the old configuration (haven't noticed any problems yet). Regards, Adam Hi I update this bug report and closes it because it's not an xorg-x11-drv-mouse
but an xorg-x11-drv-evdev bug which is lacking emulatewheel option.
a simple workaround is to add in your xorg.conf :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "NoAutoAddDevices"
EndSection
then add an input section with the driver "mouse":
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "explorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "EmulateInertia" "50"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
and add this input device to your serverlayout section.
Then add any of your devices because it won't be autodetected anymore.
I reported that in this bug report:

*** Bug 454598 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Renaming this bug and marking the other one as duplicate, so the history is easier to track down. Resolving as UPSTREAM, it is a feature request for evdev. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4147 *** Bug 446577 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** For what it's worth. I was able to get wheel emulation to work by downloading the latest evdev from freedesktop.org (I had to engage in a bit of ugliness to get it to compile, probably some stuff is broken) and just copiing the .so file over the installed one. I may or may not have needed some hal settings described here: http://mvogt.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/xorg-evdev-and-emulatewheel/ FYI I pushed evdev yesterday to what will be F11. See http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=66117 Once evdev 2.1 is out, it'll become available in F9 and F10 too. |
