 Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2005 3:44 pm Post subject: Mouse pointer crash/freeze in KDE |
 |
|
I'm on KDE 3.4 with typical settings. I think I'm using Xmodmap, if that matters (I didn't notice these things until after I set up prnt screen and screenshots).
Recently, if I hold left/right/up/down arrow or page up and page down, my mouse pointer moves in that direction and won't move away. I can force it to move away, but it instantly moves back, so I can't get anything done. Additionally, the keyboard locks up, so it's impossible to save anything and close down.
Has this happened too anyone else (searching for mouse pointer arrow up down on Google/forum search doesn't help much)? Is there a solution (without killing off to much functionality)?

| What are your mouse settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Also, are there any errors you notice during boot and in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? |

Only weird thing inside Xorg.0.log is | Code: | | (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load GLX |
, which isn't really much of a problem thus far.
xorg.conf: | Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech PS/2 Mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Buttons" "3"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection |
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |

Try changing
Option "Buttons" "3"
->Option "Buttons" "5"
And "Dev Name" to "Name"
If that doesn't work
See about commenting out all the Options below "Device" with a #. |

It works! Thank you very much. I'm still curious, though, why does that change input from the keyboard? |

"dev name" is not an option
"ZAxisMapping" "4 5" requires that there be at least 5 buttons, even if they are virtual instead of actual. |

| Apparently, it didn't work. It was just taking longer to respond and crash... Any other ideas I could try? |

Keep those options and look in the system logs, try commenting out the Option "Resolution" "800" line.
When you say it stopped working, does it stop working in the same way?
Also, what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say about which conf file it is using?
Is it in fact using /etc/X11/xorg.conf? I have had a problem where my xorg.conf was perfectly fine, and X was using an entirely different config file from a different location. |
