Ah, Matthias, I recognise your code in your patch. It's the code that periodically breaks my mouse wheels and causes me to have to restart the X server - and therewith all running applications - to get them working again.

So you have a 2 wheel mouse?

I fixed this by modifying the code to simply ignore bogus packets (but still report them in the log) instead of disabling the secondary wheel.

Hm. I added this code because too many people had two wheels configured, but using a 1 wheel mouse that sends gathered events of which some look like 2 wheel events.

cannot induce horizontal scrolling by fast movement of the vertical wheel either (not that I ever noticed this behaviour on previous xorg versions that did not include your patch).

That very much depends on the mouse and the implementation of the mouse emulation code in the kernel. Have to think a bit about that. These issues are not trivial, and the mouse driver code is ugly as hell. Thanks for your investigation so far. Egbert, you wanted to do something here. That had been in June, though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
