[SOLVED] Mouse Wheel stopped working after update

I just did a system update today and had a few issues. first banshee keps segfaulting and now my mouse wheel doesnt work when trying to scroll. Pressing it as a buttons seems to be detected.i reinstalled gnome, gnome-extra and xorg and banshee stopped crashing but still getting issue with the mouse wheel. tried downgrading nvidia drivers, xorg-server. Anyone have any thoughts?

EDIT: Banshee is back to crashing again, spits this out

Debug info from gdb:

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.


Not sure if they are related (dbus problem maybe?)

Re: [SOLVED] Mouse Wheel stopped working after update

Mouse scroll wheels are just detected as buttons (up=4 down=5) by the xserver.  You can use `xev` to see if X is detecting it properly.  If not, then it is likely an ev-dev or input driver issue.  If xev detects it, which I suspect it will, then it would be a gnome issue.

That's not a solution, but will help narrow down where to send the bug report.

Thanks for the reply. From what i can tell using xev, it detects the wheel when i push it like a button but not when i use it to scroll.

Re: [SOLVED] Mouse Wheel stopped working after update

Well that certainly does narrow it down.  Are you able to test the mouse itself on other computers?

(Sidenote: the mouse issue and the banshee issue do not seem connected - perhaps they should be separate threads).

Re: [SOLVED] Mouse Wheel stopped working after update

Turns out the mouse just stopped working. I plugged a different one in and it was fine. I though maybe there was a problem with dbus since they both happened at the exact same time.

Re: [SOLVED] Mouse Wheel stopped working after update

Glad that's figured out - unfortunately I can't help with the banshee problem.

I would recommend, though, given the current title of this thread that you mark this one as solved and open a new thread with a title that will highlight the banshee problem (if you want help with that too).
