[gentoo-user] Single click is interpreted as double click
Michael Schmarck
Yesterday, I upgraded to xorg-server 1.4 from 1.3. I also recompiled
all the x11-drivers packages, including xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3.
Today, I started Xorg 1.4 for the 1st time. When I now single click
something, the system seems to get a double click. Examples:
- In jedit, when I single click a word, the word is highlighted. This
should only happen, when a double click is done.
- In Nautilus, when I single click a folder, it is opened
- In Epiphany, when browsing for a file, I single clicked on a folder
in the "File Browse" dialog on the right hand side, where also the
files are displayed. The folder was opened right away. This should
not have happened.
- Firefox behaves just like Epiphany.
I uploaded my Xorg.conf to <http://pastebin.ca/855818>. I used the
exact same Xorg.conf with xorg-server-1.3, and there a single click
wasn't "misinterpreted".
Normally, I use Gnome with metacity as my window manager. But I also
tried a barebone twm setup, which misbehaves just like my normal
Gnome setup.
I'm using a very simple Dell branded Logitech Optical USB Mouse
via USB.
What might be broken there?
Thanks,
Michael

I think you have too many mice in your running X, there is /dev/input/mice,
which is supposed to gather all mouse data, as well as /dev/psaux (which is
included in /dev/input/mice, as far as I know). Remove the psaux device and
see if it still happens. The data is reported twice so I guess your mouse
might also move twice as fast and generate double clicks.
Maybe hotplugging is involved too, if you use hal-0.5.10.

Still the USB Mouse is added twice, most likely by hal/hotplugging.
hal-0.5.10 introduced support for telling xorg what to hotplug.
xorg-server-1.4 introduced support of hal hotplugging (triggered with the hal
use flag), so both together hotplug mice! See in the logfile at the end, it
says which devices are evaluated and added. To keep it short, just disable
hotplugging in xorg by adding:
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
to Section ServerFlags. Then good ol' xorg.conf alone is used.

(==) |-->Input Device "USB Maus"
(==) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout.
Using the first mouse device.
What if you now change the
InputDevice "USB Maus" "SendCoreEvents"
to
InputDevice "USB Maus" "CorePointer"
?

YEAH!
That solved it. I can now single click again.
Most excellent.
Thanks a lot!
