[COLUG] Right click problem follow on

[charles morrison]

After much playing, I edited my xorg.conf file adding [option "Buttons" 
"5"] to force a 5 button configuration, then looked at the Xorg log file 
to find it is really being configured as a 9 button mouse, some how.

The mouse is a 3 button with scrolling. Button 1 is left button, 2 is 
scroll mouse click, 3 is right button, and 4-5 are scroll up/down. No 
other buttons present.

All buttons work, except right button does not bring up context menu. It 
does go up one directory from current directory, unless I hold the 
button down and move the mouse slightly, then a context menu appears and 
works as it should.

Very strange behavior.

Using xev, left button shows button 1 click, right button shows button 3 
click, which is correct. Scrolling up/down shows button 4/5 click which 
is correct. Seems like problem is not in xorg and buttons are being 
diverted or mapped to something else.

Works ok on another computer. I have not tried creating another user on 
this computer, yet.

Any other ideas are appreciated.
