 Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2006 5:57 am Post subject: Mouse Button Hold Event |
 |
|
| Is there any way to get your mouse click to act similar to a keypress? For example in a game if you hold the crouch button on the keyboard the button stays crouched and once you let go you are uncrouched. However as it stays now if you use the mouse to crouch the event is sent only once even if you keep the button held down. Is there any way to make it stay crouched and then release once you let go of the button? |

It might be more an issue with wine then. I would check the Wine forums also for some possible leds. |

| actually i don't think its a wine issue. I found that the crouching works fine with mouse 1 and 2 (left and right click) but if i try to use my thumb buttons it does not hold. Maybe it is some xmodmap thing? |

Can you use the program xev and see what events are happening when you press the thumb buttons.
It sounds like you might have cruise control on which causes two mouse events. (Appears like a scrollwheel also)
What kind of mouse is it? |

If one of the thumb buttons are bound in the 3 mouse binds in xmodmap it works. It becomes known as mouse button 1 - 3. Now if i go past that number it begins to do that non holding action.
For example:
This is the original xmodmap that makes all the keys work in xorg. Back and foward and scrolling all work fine.
| Code: | | pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 8 9 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 |
The button 1 3 and 2 are the only ones that are allowed to correctly crouch.
Say I swap button number 3 with number 6
| Code: | | pointer = 1 6 2 4 5 8 9 3 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 |
Now in wine the bottom thumb button becomes known as button 2 and the right mouse button becomes button 4. So the crouching works correctly with the thumb then but not the right mouse button.
There has to be some sort of limitation that is going on.
So does anyone have an idea on what my next step should be? |

Are you using the evdev driver for the mouse in xorg.conf?
I still think that somehow that wine is only recognizing the minimal number of buttons correctly. I don't know enough about wine or have a wine emulated game that uses multiple buttons to test. |

| yes i've using evdev. but if wine wasn't recognising the buttons it wouldn't show up as a mouse click. the buttons come up as mouse1-5 in the game so the event is going through. However i belive it must be some xorg or xmodmap thing since like i said if i change the bind order the keys work fine. |

What I'm trying to state is that often buttons 4 and 5 on many mouse drivers are mapped to the scroll wheel. So in wine if it is expecting the same, the clicks still get registered, but not the way you want.
All xmodmap does is change the button order, so that if you remapped the higher buttons to the first three mouse buttons, this would fit my idea of why it works the way it does.
Do you have a linux native game you can test the extra buttons in? If not, maybe install ut2004-demo or something so you can test and see whether it is X, or X with wine. |

| I just tried tremulous and mouse button 4 holds. So I guess it is a wine problem. Now how to solve it I don't know.... I guess i could make a script to have it swap keys when the program launches and then swap back when its done... However I'd like a more non 'dirty hack' solution. Any ideas? |
