My computer works! The issue seems to have been the joystick connected - I have a Microsoft Precision Sidewinder joystick and it seems to have failed. So I disconneected it and the scroll issue went...

I tried different mice on this and different computers - the mice work just fine. It's just that something is sending a downwards scroll effect. On top of that it looks like I have to use a...

No joy - I commented out the Input Device sections in both Server Layout and the standalone Input Devices in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the mouse is still scrolling down uncontrollably. Something is making...

Okay I tried commenting out the Input device sections but maybe I should try that again. will see if I can comment out server layout and Input Device, see what happens.

My InputDevice lines under...

Ahhh okay! I will try that! At one point I removed instead of commented out the mouse and keyboard settings. Do you mean for the "Input Device" areas and not the Mouse and Keyboard entries in the...

I've had this issue before but now this is a different style. I rather think I might have an angle as to what has caused this.

First of all, by runaway vertical scrolling, I mean that whenever any...

I wonder if adding "Linux Input" to the Input Controllers options in GIMP might help? I was having this trouble today and that seems to have solved the issue at least temporarily. I'll see.

Please, share your configuration here if you have this type of AGP card (ATI Radeon HD 3600/4600 series). My spare card's fan is broken, and none of the stores in the area carry AGP cards either.

Bump - Anyone out there have a working ATI Radeon HD 3630 or similar card? What is your configuration if you do?

-Seth

Yeah that's a good point there irv.

Argh, don't really have the money right now to buy another AGP video card, and I admit I'm a bit scared as to whether it would fail or something down the road....

You would know this certainly; what other drivers, if specified in xorg.conf, would allow an ATI Radeon HD 3650 to at least display without causing me such a mouse issue? Vesa at least gets me with...

Very interesting. Maybe I can do this as a reinstall you think?

What's also interesting is that I was able to upgrade all the way to 10.10 on the laptop, and it works optimally. That laptop has an...

Hello,

I had an ill-advised upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 (due to needing to beta-test a particular program). My gut told me that I shouldn't do it, but I went ahead and did it anyway.

The...

I'm in the same boat here. I can force the system to use vesa, but for some reason the vesa driver makes my mouse act up (the vertical and horizontal scrolling is out of control and it makes it all...

It's odd, but my Compiz is not working at all with that installation (and it's a dual monitor setup too). I ran the extraction of the new drivers and that helped me make things happen, finally.

I...

Thank you in #13 - this worked for me when I had this issue upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 tonight. I am not going to try 10.04 since I have a Radeon HD3650 card.

I was able to stop this from happening by disabling desktop effects. There may be some sort of interaction in there.

To disable desktop effects, I go to the System>Preferences>Appearance applet,...

However, this is a significant issue for me, as the battery charge warning is not easy to see (the change in color/design is too subtle). In addition, I think the timer is necessary to activate...

I, too, would like to see this indicator return to always be present in the tray. The small black notification bubbles are too unobtrusive for me to notice till it's too late.

This was solved by following the instructions in this thread:

The instruction:



Edit the file: /etc/vmware/config

I have a bizarre problem with my VMWare Server. After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10, which was a painful process no thanks to my ATI card, I noticed that certain keys do not work when in VMWare Server....

Same here - I wonder what would cause that. On my Ubuntu 9.10, the desktop effects are turned off.

-Seth

I was able to save the day.

First thing was to get into the Recovery Console and edit xorg.conf with the values found here:

Those were "wrong"...

After a reasonably successful upgrade of my laptop from 8.04 to 9.10 (it took a while), I foolishly decided to try the same with my desktop.

The desktop is running a new ATI Radeon HD 3650 card...

How do you do that, as I am having the same problem. What xmodmap definition would you use to ensure that the Compose key stays in place and where do you enter it?
