Mouse weirdness, evdev, opengl, xorg

[c0nv1ct]

With xorg-server 1.4.0.90, nvidia drivers 169.07, and evdev 1.1.5-r2, problems still exist. Its been months, i still dont get why this is still broken. Atleast i've found that having VLC running fixes the problem (i prefer mpd over audacious).

I've fixed one problem here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13808
Let's hope they integrate the fix soon.

(This has to do with the mouse not reacting properly to slow movements.)

I use:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
	Driver		"mouse"
...
# See mouse.c in xf86-input-mouse
# Defaults to 1.
	Option		"Sensitivity"		"0.2"

With mouse acceleration turned off:

Code: Select all

xset m 0 0

Confirmed, your fix works, good stuff, thanks

for me this fix doesn't work

For me the fix doesnt work either(in et).

I went into the game today, and ive seen when i go right side with the mouse , it runs very fast, little movements are enough to make a 360 movement.
But When i go with the mouse rightside, then it makes nearly nothing. Same with up and down, when i go up it runs very slow. When i go down, it rans very fast down.

A little bit strange the problem.

Sorry for bad english.

I've seen strange issues in Darwinia too. Like the previous post, the mouse is super sensitive and moves all over the place, totally uncontrollable. It's a real shame that when I finally took some time to sit down and play, it didn't work as it should...

I've found this solution in the gentoo evdev (HAL) guide. Add this following setting inside a Module section:

Section "Module"
...
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga"
EndSubSection
...
EndSection

The full guide can be found here: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x ... -guide.xml

try downgrade x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev to 2.1.3 version if you use evdev as a mouse driver in xorg.conf
i've had this problem after some upgrade of evdev or xorg and had to downgrade

i have:
x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r5
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4

I could mention that I'm using Xorg-1.5.3-r5 with the "new" HAL fdi settings. I think there have been bug fixes regarding this issue going into xorg-1.5, but I might be totally off base.

Any further updates on this?

I have a Microsoft wireless mouse and have no issues with the pointer. The mouse buttons are very slow to react in gnome (like 5-10 seconds to bring up a menu). In individual applications they work fine. No issues with keyboard. Very strange.

Have current portage versions of Xorg, gnome and nvidia. emerge -e x11 nvidia gnome gave no help. Issue is the same with device set as mouse or as event device.

Really strange and annoying.

My issues went away when updating Xorg, and that was 3 years ago, so your problem is probably something very different. Xorg has even left HAL behind since this thread was started, and is now using evdev exclusively. Have you checked out the Gentoo Xorg evdev guide?
