From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010803 Description of problem: Unticking the "Emulate 3 Buttons" field has no effect on the generated XF86Config file under certain circumstances. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run mouseconfig with no arguments and pretend you have a "Generic 3 Button Mouse (PS/2)", and untick the "Emulate 3 Buttons" field. This produces an XF86Config file where Emulate3Buttons and Emulate3Timeout are commented out. 2.Next, run mouseconfig with no arguments and pretend you have a "Generic Mouse (PS/2)", and tick the "Emulate 3 Buttons" field. This produces an XF86Config file where Emulate3Buttons and Emulate3Timeout are active. This proves that mouseconfig in some cases does manipulate the Emulate3Buttons and Emulate3Timeout lines. 3.Finally run mouseconfig with no arguments and pretend you have a "Generic Mouse (PS/2)" just like before, and *untick* the "Emulate 3 Buttons" field. This produces an XF86Config file where Emulate3Buttons and Emulate3Timeout are still active (in fact the XF86Config file has not changed at all). Actual Results: You are left with an XF86Config file where Emulate3Buttons and Emulate3Timeout are still active, although they should have been commented out. Expected Results: The Emulate3Buttons and Emulate3Timeout lines should have been commented out. Additional info:
I have just completed a text mode interface for redhat-config-mouse, which means that mouseconfig will be deprecated in the next release of Red Hat Linux. Therefore, I will not be putting any development time towards fixing mouseconfig bugs, so I'm closing this as 'wontfix'.
Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
