[SOLVED] problems with usb mouse and dragging

I have a laptop that has a synaptics touch pad, but when Im at home I usually use a dell usb mouse that Ive had for about 3  years.  For a while now I have been experiencing issues that I never had before (maybe since xorg 1.6 I dont know).  The mouse works fine in the sense that I can move it and click on things, but when I try to click and drag is when I get issues.  If I try to grab a window and move it around, the window will drop after a few seconds and the mouse clicks on whatever is under it at the time. If i try to highlight text, I have to do it very quickly otherwise the highlight dissapears and starts again in a new spot. This issue is very annoying, especially when working in gimp.

So basically, I cant click and hold with the usb mouse because it lets go in the middle of it and starts again. Im pretty sure it worked fine before xorg 1.6.  It still works fine in vista.  Also the synaptics touchpad works fine.

here is my xorg.conf

Re: [SOLVED] problems with usb mouse and dragging

if ur using the latest xorg and have hal running u dont have to have a xorg.conf file, try making a backup of ur current xorg.conf file as something like xorg.conf.bk and delete the xorg.conf and restart X. see how that works

Re: [SOLVED] problems with usb mouse and dragging

If I delete my xorg.conf it totally screws up my video card and resoution.

If I delete only the section for the mouse, X still fails to start, this time because of having no input device or something like that.


Anyway I think the problem might be the mouse itself after all. This same thing just started happening in Vista, its weird how it just now started doing it in vista though when its been doing it for a long time in linux.
