double click problem

Two days before i updated my system.
After an reboot the following happens to me:
Every click i make with the left mouse button is not an normal one it is a double click.
I tested it with Gnome and with KDE. I downgraded the kernel and also used a different mouse.
Its allways the same. Every click ist double. All applications receive double click instead of normal ones.
I checked the double click speed but it has not changed. I even put it to 1S. That did not help at all.
Does anybody have a clue what could cause that?

P.S.
If i use gpm on the virtual console everything is ok. Therefore it is definitively not an hardware or kernel problem.

Re: double click problem

After downgrading to xorg-server-1.2.0-5 things are back to normal.

Re: double click problem

Re: double click problem

I've had this problem with the new xserver.

The solution is to get rid of the mouse declarations in your xorg.conf (or regenerate an xorg.conf with X -configure ; or get rid of the mouse configuration stuff)

What seems to be happening is that the same mouse is declared twice, leading to the xserver seeing two clicks (via two mose sections) for every one the hardware receives.
