Sometimes my mouse acts like it double clicks on a single click.
mev reports a normal click as mouse event code 14 on button down, and 18
on button up. When the double click problem happens, button down is event
code 14, 82 and button up is code 88. What are these codes, can I find a
listing of them somewhere?

I have a Microsoft wired USB/PS2 wheel mouse. Changing ports doesn't
change things. I currently have the mouse configured as mousetype imps2
in /etc/sysconfig/mouse and protocol IMPS/2 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

This is something new, I don't know what I did to cause this.
