behavior button gnome under F8
Ok I'm using Gnome in Fedora 8 all yummed up to date. For some weird reason buttons(the picture buttons) seem to randomly stop working. It happens in Azureus, Liferea, and Nautilus. It seems to be the buttons in the top menu bar(In Nautilus it's the bar with the back,forward, stop, reload etc...). When I use a right-click menu or in Nautilus if I use the treeview on the side it seems to work. It'll start working again after a bit but I usually have to reboot to 'fix' it. Does anyone have any idea what this is?
Hardware(in case it's an issue): A7N8X Sempron 3000 Ati 9800se PS2 KB USB Mouse Thanks in advance, M |

I did see something like this Red Hat 8 a long, long time ago, and wrote it off as a hardware glitch. The mouse click "events" were received, but the x and y coordinate that the X server received was off by 5 to 10 pixels in some random direction, such that depending upon where you actually placed the tip of the mouse pointer, the button would fire, and then sometimes not. I couldn't isolate the problem until I ran the xev utility and started poking around the edges of the xev X window to see that the X events were not getting through. In this case, I don't know what the resolution was because the hardware got scrapped anyway. bgoodr |
The video card??? ughh... Well it makes sense if it's a hardware issue. Otherwise people would be complaining left and right about it. The video card should be solid so I'll try swapping out the motherboard tonight and see what happens (I repaired the North Bridge heat sync a while ago so...).
It's truly bizarre. I push the mouse button down. The button looks like it's pressed. I let go and it doesn't look like it's pressed any more. Fine I tell myself (except for the fact that it didn't do anything.) It just seems so counterintuitive. Of course I'm coming from the M$ world :ducks: and we all know how intuitive _that_ can be. Thanks, |
