[COLUG] right click problem

[charles morrison]

Jim,

I really appreciate the help in figuring out how to fix this right click 
problem. I used the xev command as you suggested and here are the 
results. First button press event is a right click and the second 
sequence is a left click:

*ButtonPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x45, subw 0x3200002, time 4109166, (41,47), root:(1140,525),
    state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES

EnterNotify event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x45, subw 0x0, time 4109166, (41,47), root:(1140,525),
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyInferior, same_screen YES,
    focus YES, state 1024

KeymapNotify event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  69  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

ButtonRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x45, subw 0x3200002, time 4109307, (41,47), root:(1140,525),
    state 0x400, button 3, same_screen YES

LeaveNotify event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x45, subw 0x0, time 4109307, (41,47), root:(1140,525),
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyInferior, same_screen YES,
    focus YES, state 0

ButtonPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x45, subw 0x3200002, time 4111190, (41,47), root:(1140,525),
    state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES

    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyInferior, same_screen YES,
    focus YES, state 256

KeymapNotify event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  69  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

ButtonRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,

    state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES
*
Then I tried moving the mouse while right click and this is the main 
difference I saw:

*EnterNotify event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x45, subw 0x0, time 4701471, (36,23), root:(1135,548),
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyInferior, same_screen YES,
    focus YES, state 1024

KeymapNotify event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  68  0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

MotionNotify event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,
    root 0x45, subw 0x3200002, time 4703299, (36,24), root:(1135,549),
    state 0x400, is_hint 0, same_screen YES*

I don't see a major difference between what you sent and what I get, 
except the KeymapNotify event. Sometimes it shows 68 and sometimes 69.

I already tried another mouse and same problem. Also tried another USB 
port with the same results. I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf and compared it 
to a working system in our building and don't see anything different.

I have not tried creating another user. Will try that soon and report 
back. Also will use xev on the other system and see if it gives the 
KeymapNotify event or not.

Thanks for the great ideas. I'll keep looking.
