Re: Middle mouse button behavior changed?

Thanks.  Yes, I'm behind on kernel upgrades (bugfixes but not updates).  I'll try that.

PS/2 middle button / scrollwheel swap also seems possible, though behavior isn't suggesting this.

 I'm somewhat suspicious it's the kernel. From uname:

 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt4-3 (2015-02-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Maybe that is the problem. That looks like a Jessie kernel. Testing/Stretch 
is on what now, 4.5, or has it updated to 4.6 since I last upgraded?

AFAICT, libinput* isn't limited to Xorg, so likely is used by gpm. My Jessie 
is on libinput5, while my Stretch is on libinput10. Could be an
unexpected 
combination of kernel and libinput* doesn't work so well.
