[gentoo-user] kmail delete problem

[gentoo-user] kmail delete problem

[Paul]

Hi all,
I am using kmail version 1.8.3 using KDE 3.4.3 and am experiencing multiple 
deletes. I click on the waste bin icon to delete the current read message and 
read the next one.  Sometime I miss reading a message because 2 have been 
deleted instead of 1.  This happens quite often, also sometimes when I select 
a message to read a duplicate copy appears in a new window.
Is anybody else having this sort of problem?
Has anybody been able to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Paul

I think I might have solved this problem. I have changed the xorg.conf mouse 
protocol from "auto" to "PS/2".  The mouse is still connected to a USB port 
and now appears to work correctly.
How strange, perhaps Peter and Dale could try this and see if it solves their 
problem as well.

Funny, I thought about that thread when I saw it was taking one click
twice too.  May want to check on that.  If you look in the Xorg.0.log
file in /var/log it should tell you what it tries to see it as.  It may
be seeing it as the wrong thing.  This may help too:

> root@smoker / # dmesg | grep mouse
> mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
> root@smoker / #


See what that says and let us know if we can help, or it fixes it.  I
may would believe dmesg myself.  Make sure you and a editor gets along
though.  GUI may not come up at all if it can't find a little rat
running around.

Hmm, seems I responded to the wrong part of a reply...

Anyway, could you post the InputDevice and ServerLayout sections of
your xorg.conf?

The only obvious thing I saw missing in your xorg.0.log output was a
line about "core events", but maybe you just skipped it...

I have just checked again and can't find any mention of core events in the 
log.

Thanks for your help

Maybe you also need:

         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "off"

Although, I'm not sure, since I don't have this either...and my mice work fine.

Nevermind.  I get that because I have two mice, and use SendCoreEvents
on the second.

Thanks for the help Richard
I have added the option line but it has made no difference, I am still 
deleting 2 messages sometimes, it seems to be completely random, as does the 
problem with the second copy of a message opening in another window.  Also I 
sometimes click on the terminal program or the personal files icon and 2 
instances open.
This is very weird
Any more ideas?

For besides the hardware related messages in dmesg and xorg.0.log
messages you can also check the last boot cycle in /var/log/syslog.

I don't have a directory /var/log/syslog. I have been looking for a boot log, 
I suppose I need to turn it on somehow.
Do you know how?

UPDATE
I have connected a PS2 mouse and the double clicking problems have 
disappeared, but as soon as I use the USB mouse the problem is back

This has got to be a USB problem but I Don't know where to look next.  I have 
been looking in /var/log/portage to see if any updates could have caused this 
in the last few weeks.  The trouble is I don't know which programs a usb 
mouse uses.
Any ideas out there????

Others have experienced problems with the latest udev update
(unstable?).  This may only apply to setups with bespoke udev rules; did
you have any special udev rules for your USB mouse?

Hm, ok, for a USB mouse we are just talking kernel drivers...so let's
have a peak at your kernel configuration.  Please post the output of:

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -e USB -e MOUSE | grep -v "^#"

or if you don't have /proc/config.gz:

grep -e USB -e MOUSE /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -v "^#"

I noticed that I had 2 UHCI (USB1.1) and 1 EHCI (USB2) ports on my motherboard 
and the mouse was connected to the USB2 port.  As soon as I connected it to a 
USB1.1 all of the double clicking problems have disappeared.

Question
Has something changed recently that has affected USB2??
I would like to report this as bug but without discovering exactly what 
changed, it's a bit wishy washy.

Thanks to all who took the trouble to reply and help with this problem.

Sorry to reply to my own message but I was too quick off the mark the double 
clicking problem is still there.  I guess I'll stick to the PS2 mouse.

Disappointed
