[SOLVED(?)] mouse scrolling problem for sort of a week now.

andav · 2023-10-02 18:16:44

i have dual boot archlinux and windows.
when i boot into windows there is no problem at all.
the mouse functioning properly.

the problem in linux:
when i scroll down:
the page goes up a little and then continue to scroll down and then again it goes up a little and continue to scroll down, and so forth.
same problem exist if i scroll up.

i tried a different mouse, and the problem "moved" to the next mouse.
both mouse's are a bluetooth mouse.

i have archlinux + GNOME (xorg).

very strange what is happening.
the first post was written from windows.
i boot into windows to check if the problem also exist there (and as i said, it isn't).
after that (and after updating windows) i boot into arch again and now there is no problem with the scrolling for couple of minutes now.
i don't know what is happening here.
i didn't do any change to archlinux.
just boot into it after visiting windows.

Does

xev -event mouse | grep button

reflect the behavior?
(Ie. are there actually bogus wheel events or is this purely visual)

it seems that the problem disappeared somehow, even when scrolling after running your command.

That command just prints the mouse buttons (4+5 for the wheel) that arrive - I wonder whether you just saw a previous frame, rather than actually scrolling up.

You could post your Xorg log for a sanity check, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
(The usual suspect would be xf86-video-intel, if you've that installed and in use, probably just remove it)

here is my Xorg.0.log:

i don't have xf86-video-intel installed.
this package made me troubles when i installed arch and gnome (using xorg), so i removed her.

Nothing suspicious in the log.
If it shows up again, check xev to see whether there's really a mouse event.

ceterum censeo: 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

thanks!
and for the third link (fast start), i did it when i installed both systems.
as suggested in the wiki, i installed windows before, and then arch.
and of course i support the voodoo thing .

Arch Linux
