[ubuntu] Broken mouse

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi Well, the problem is that my mouse is broken and when I click the left button it generates 2 mouse clicks, so until I buy a new mouse I need to somehow temporarily fix it. My idea is to set some kind of limit between mouse clicks, that when you click the mouse then you will have to wait let say 0.2sec before you can click it again and every mouse clicks generated before passing those 0.2sec will be ignored :) Any ideas how to do it (set up it) in ubuntu 11.04? Thanks (Hardware)

How do you adjust the mouse click debouncing in Ubuntu?

I recently bought an IOGear wireless keyboard, and while most functions appear to work "out-of-the-box", the builtin mouse keys seem to have no debouncing, so a single click usually registers as multiple clicks.

I did an update the other day and ever since my mouse has been going crazy...

Clicks are registering way too fast, to the point where it makes even dragging and dropping items difficult, and even my left mouse button when held down is registering multiple clicks...makes it hard to even move or resize a window on my screen and the crappy mouse configuration in sstem tools isn't doing a damned th

In Ubuntu 12.04, my mouse clicks when I release the button.

What happens (bad): I right click (mousedown), the context menu appears, when I release the mouse button (mouseup), the item under the cursor is clicked.

What should happen (good): I right click (mousedown), the context menu appears, nothing happens when I release the button.

Hi , Ever since I upgraded to Fedora 17 from Fedora 14, single clicking my mouse has become very difficult. Single click registers as a double click 70% of times. All the settings that I see have to do with delay between 2 clicks to be considered a double click, but here I am not making 2 clicks.

I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and everything seems fine, except the mouse clicks only work half the time. I often have to click things (whatever it is) several times before any response and it's driving me crazy. The mouse works fine in Windows XP.

[ubuntu] Mouse problem 3 years 31 weeks ago

I'm using the optical mouse that came with my dell inspiron and while it works, it has some serious sensitivity issues. I click, it double clicks, I maximine, and it minimizes right back down. Even the lightbulb test under the mouse menu was flickering.

Is there an easy fix for this? Of is there a specific mouse that's pretty much plug and play for linux systems?

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 on my new Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 M772DGE. Unfortunately the right mouse button of the touchpad is not working correctly. Every mouse button click is interpreted as a left mouse button click. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the synaptics (xserver-xorg-input-synaptics) drivers, but the problem is still present.

What else can I do? Any other suggestions?

Hi,

When I had ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop, I had used a piece of code with which I could simulate mouse clicks using X11 libraries(it was working fine). I recently upgraded my ubuntu to 11.10 and now for some reason, the same piece of code is acting very wierd..
