Description Carl Byington 2011-08-06 02:58:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have a dell 1555 laptop with attached:
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 045e:0084 Microsoft Corp. Basic Optical Mouse

The middle button is used for both scrolling, and as a button. On F15, it scrolls, but middle button press does nothing.

xev shows:
left button = 1
right button = 3
scroll up = 4
scroll down = 5

pressing the middle (scroll) button does not cause any input that xev sees.

The middle button worked on F14 on a different laptop.

xmodmap -pp shows physical buttons 1..12 mapped to button codes 1..12



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-mouse-1.6.99.901-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open terminal, type some text
2. select text with mouse (click and drag)

nothing pasted

selected text should be pasted

I think I manually added this in an attempt to enable the middle mouse button

Please run evtest and press the middle mouse button. Do you see any events show up?
Comment 9 Carl Byington 2012-04-26 04:52:33 UTC 
I no longer have access to that hardware mouse
Comment 10 Peter Hutterer 2012-04-26 05:02:19 UTC 
Ok, thanks. I'm closing this bug for now, please reopen if it occurs again with other hardware.
Comment 11 Carl Byington 2012-05-09 01:08:14 UTC 
I have recovered that mouse, and it is now connected to a fully updated Fedora 16 box. lsusb shows:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:0084 Microsoft Corp. Basic Optical Mouse

Running evtest, we get events from the left and right buttons, and the scroll wheel up/down, but nothing from pressing the middle (scroll wheel) button.

Comment 12 Peter Hutterer 2012-05-09 01:51:49 UTC 
not an X bug then. Does the middle button still work on another machine/OS? My guess would be a hardware issue, I don't think the kernel broke that part.
Comment 13 Carl Byington 2012-05-19 17:31:34 UTC 
I have not been able to get that middle button to work on any other machine/OS. I agree - it looks like the hardware just broke.
Comment 14 Peter Hutterer 2012-05-20 21:45:19 UTC 
Thanks for letting us know. I'll close it as NOTABUG then.
