"certain mouse operations" - care to clarify?
Mostly when dragging windows, but I've seen it happen for other things,
so I'm not sure yet. That's why I didn't specify. Also I find that when
it stops responding, if I wait a while, it sometimes comes back.
Strange, but it's awful when it goes away.
When I did a clean install of 4.2.0 debs I too got a "Generic Mouse"
section that refered to /dev/input/mice (and I'm prety sure that I didn't
answer any questions in such a way as to suggest this).
Figuring that it was irrelevant, I commented out this bit of the config
and made sure that my "Configured Mouse" was a reasonable reflection of
reality.
What does your "Configured Mouse" section look like, what kind of mouse do
you have and how's it connected?
I have a trackpad. It's connected somehow internally, I don't know how. ;)
Here's my mouse sections from my XF86Config-4
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
For comparison, using lindows with the same debs, my mouse works fine.
I tried using the XFConfig-4 from lindows, and that didn't help the
problem. Lindows does use the 2.4.18 kernel though, but I'm not sure
that is significant.
Does it have teh same mouse configuration?
Here's the one from lindows. I don't see any significant difference.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "YES"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "YES"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "YES"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
HTH,
