Weird middle-click problem after upgrading to Jaunty

[fuxoft]

Hello there,

I recently upgraded from 8.04 all the way to 9.04 and I now have rather weird problem with Gimp but it doesn't seem the new Gimp version inlucded in Jaunty is to blame.

I normally hold the middle mousebutton down and move the mouse to pan the image around in main Gimp window. However, when I try this in Jaunty, the image starts jumping all over the place as soon as I start moving it left or up. This happens even after I completely removed ~/.gimp-2.6 directory and restarted Gimp. Scrolling image using spacebar works as expected. I have Logitech G5 mouse and no special mouse configuration of any kind.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that middle-clicking on anything on Jaunty desktop in fact works as if I double-clicked the left mousebutton - I think this wasn't the case in 8.04 and I have no idea where this is controlled from. My xorg.conf doesn't contain anything at all about Mouse and System/Mouse dialog doesn't have any options for third mousebutton.

Wow, now I discovered I have the exactly same problem in Inkscape! So this is definitely not Gimp related.

How do I configure HAL devices? I have something called "Macintosh 2 button mouse compatibility" as one of my devices. I've never seen that in 8.06.

not sure if this will help but in 8.04 i had to add some stuff to get my 7 button mouse working, there may be somewhere else u may need to add it if not in the xorg.conf file.

Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
EndSection

I'm afraid this won't help because in 9.04 there is no reference to any "InputDevice" in xorg.conf at all!

so its not in xorg.conf. that was why i stated, if it is not there you will have to find out where the version you have does put the configuration info for the mouse.

perhaps make a new thread asking where Jaunty puts the file for mouse configuration?

Did anyone find where Jaunty stores the mouse config? I'm having problems with my mouse and I can't find any xorg.conf at all (clean minimal install with gnome)

The problem with the middle-click has been bugging me for quite some time (Jaunty) now on Firefox: When you middle-click a link, it should open in a new tab. This does sometimes work in Jaunty, but many times it doesn't.
