USB mouse no right click

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – After a clean install of 32 bit version Ubuntu 12.04 (twice) on an older Dell Dimension 2400 (not dual booting), My Microsoft brand wired USB mouse apparently has right click disabled on the desktop and in all applications. Verified that the mouse is working properly on windows systems and even switched out the mouse with another wired Microsoft USB mouse that was verified to work on Windows systems. Scrolling is also kind of lagging and jerky with Ubuntu. Otherwise, the mouse and everything else works fine. (HowTos)

Stories similar to USB mouse no right click

Hi.

I have a Dell Studio 1715 laptop, which comes with bluetooth, webcam, fingerprint reader, everything. I enjoyed ubuntu a lot in this laptop.... until I met this problem.

I bought a bluetooth laser mouse, which didn't work for me before. Can't remember the brand... now it happens all over again with a brand new mouse, so it can't be the mouse itself.

((Yes. this is another wireless mouse-thread. I see several threads on issues with wireless mice, but when it comes to RF (Radio) mice it's mostly on glitches and tweaks. I only see threads on BT not working at all. So, this is one about a non-BT mouse that is not working at all.))

When I start vim in a screen session, and activate the mouse:

:set mouse=a

the mouse remains disabled. I cannot switch tabs via mouse click.

How can I configure screen so that mouse support in vim works?

Edit: I guess the version of my screen is too old. When I upgrade it, mouse works fine in vim.

I still want to know how to focus different regions(Ctrl-a S) via mouse click.

I bought a wireless mouse on ebay (Optical RF 2.4GHz Wireless Mouse with RF USB Receiver) but it won't work on my Dell PC running Ubuntu 11.04 (Lubuntu).

I tested the mouse on Windows and it works fine.

When I re-checked the item description it says the mouse is for Windows, no mention of Linux.

Is there any way to get this mouse working on my PC?

This is the exact mouse I bought: http://cgi.

[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?

Mouse Not Working on Boot 36 weeks 2 days ago

I have seen several topics regarding this situation, but none of them truly address my issue (that, or there are no answers that solve the issue.)

Upon booting into Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64 my mouse wired USB mouse (Steelseries Sensei if that makes any difference) either doesn't work or stops working immediately after the grub menu, prior to the login screen appearing.

[ubuntu] Broken mouse 1 year 11 weeks ago

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

On my desktop, I've got an IBM model M keyboard with a trackpoint built into it (attached via the PS2 mouse port). I also have a wireless USB mouse. My problem is that the mouse settings required for each are different.

I started ubuntu and my mouse isn't working. Even in log in screen. If I shake my mouse all the time while booting then my mouse will work.

I think the mouse peripheral hasn't been detected and that's why mouse isn't working.

So is there any way to fix this problem OR Can I refresh peripherals by using a command in Terminal ?
