[opensuse] Finally Frustrated enough about Mouse Clicks...
I am finally to the frustration point on this so I figured I would throw this out in case anyone has run across this and has something I have not tried. I have MS IntelliMouse Explorer USB optical mouse. Which essentially works fine, pretty much. The only issue I have is that single clicks keep showing up as double clicks. Which when you are in email clicking to delete something can mean you end up deleting more than you wanted. Or other rather annoying things. I get this whether I am using KDE or Xfce. I have tried both their tools for changing the double click speed, with no luck. What is more, is that it seems to relate to how long my system has been up. When I first boot up and log in, it might happen occasionally, after a week of uptime, practically every click comes through as a double click. I am not sure if there is any way to adjust this in the xorg.conf, or somewhere else. I have seen this in 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2. I am currently using 10.2, and as I said both XFCE and KDE exhibit the problem. I believe because it happens in both XFCE and KDE that its X related, also when I use x11vnc to come in, the mouse behaves fine, single clicks are single clicks. Any thoughts, or other tools to try?

Well I did not think it was the mouse, as when I used to use Windows, I would never experience the issue, even after a couple days uptime. Granted I have not been in Windows in ages, so I suppose that could be it... Thanks...

Why don't you try some live distro like knoppix, then you will know if this is opensuse problem or something else. You may try as well some older version of knoppix, with older xord (or even X11) to test. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I agree with Hans.. it's the mouse. Remember those things are just a piece of plastic clicking against another piece of plastic. And it isn't even a decent quality plastic. -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thats an absolutely excellent idea. I will give that a shot! Thanks I had not thought of that, and I will still be able to access my files. Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi, I think that you are using the KDE default mouse click action, the single click, is to open files/directories. To change this default action go to Personal Settings/Peripherals/Mouse and change the option in the frame Icons to "Double-click to open files and folders (select icons on first click)".

When you use X11VNC it implies you are coming from a different machine and a different mouse, and a different X11 server. So try a different mouse. They are dirt cheap these days. What CPU is in use? Dual core perhaps? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
