KDE irratict mouse
 

Hi all,

I regularly get multiple mouse click events for a single mouse click, which is quite annoying. I'm using a PS/2 mouse in Debian Sarge, and the same behaviour happens in both KDE and Gnome.

What should I try to resolve this?

Cheers,

Buy a $5 mouse from a local store and see if it does the same thing. If it's a software problem, you need to figure out what changed right before this started happening and try to revert to your previous setup.

The only other way I know to fix it if it's software would be a reinstallation.

--RF

$ su -c 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86'
try selecting all the different mouse types, and see if any one of them works. Has the mouse been working correctly with another OS? Is it old?

Thanks

jonaskoelker,

it was simply my mouse! I'm using the same make and model of mouse and it works just fine. So anyone else with wierd problems don't forget to consider the hardware itself might be dodgy!

cheers
