From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-21 i686) Description of problem: I recently upgraded to RH7.2 from RH7.0, and have updated all components via RH update agent as of yesterday. Now the third (middle) mouse button support is lost. I used to be able to press both trackpad buttons and get the 3rd (middle) button (used for pasting on a command line, for example). Now I can't. Here is current mouseconfig entry from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" # Modified by mouseconfig Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option ZAxismapping" "4 5" EndSection I get copy and paste in emacs but need to use control-y now instead of just the third mouse button. I can't get copy and paste when X is not running either. I tried copying back my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file from my RH7.0 installation, from an archived copy of my /etc directory: no luck. That configuration reads: more /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option ZAxismapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection As suggested by RH support I also tried rerunning mouseconfig repeatedly: no luck. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mouseconfig-4.23-1 How reproducible: Didn't try (would require reinstalling RH7.0, then installing RH7.2...?) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to RH7.2 from RH 7.0 on a Dell Latitude CPx500 using RH CDs. 2. Configure as under RH7.0. 3. Install all recommended package updates to RH7.2. Actual Results: see Description. Expected Results: I was hoping to have third button support as before... Additional info: Here are versions of possible elements of the bug: kernel vmlinuz-2.4.9-21 mouseconfig-4.23-1 XFree86-4.1.0-15 Xconfigurator-4.9.39-2 Thanks for any help on this.
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.
