(I just joined the list a few minutes ago, so I don't know if this
specific problem has been mentioned yet or not.)
Just installed 2.2-ALPHA w/ XFree 3.2 this weekend. After installing
fvwm2, every few minutes my window focus would stop tracking with my mouse
(I have pointer-focus configured). It appeared to recognize buttons
pressed as those would highlight in the xterm over across the screen that
was stuck with focus. Shifting back to a terminal screen and back
(Ctrl-Alt-F1/F4) didn't fix it. The only two ways I found that did were
killing and restarting the X server, and hitting both mouse buttons at the
same time (I have Emulate3Buttons set).
Tried fvwm1 -- same problem. At one point it quit listening to the
mouse altogether. The X server was still alive (xperfmon kept updating),
tha machine was still alive (I could switch out to the virtual screens,
though I was getting when I typed were some strange control and high-bit
characters instead of what I was typing -- like some kind of shift state
was still active), but no mouse. I then remembered having turned moused on
in sysconfig.
I killed it and disabled it in sysconfig. No problems since. There's
no manpage on moused that I could find.
Here's what I think is relevent config. If I left something out that
would be useful to know, let me know:
FreeBSD: 2.2-ALPHA
sysconfig: mousedtype=microsoft
Mouse : Microsoft Serial Mouse 2.0A (2 button)
Vidcard: Stingray 64/Video 2Meg
XFree : SVGA server, v3.2
XF86Config: Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Microsoft"
Device "/dev/cuaa0"
Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
By the way, I never got to doing a "vidcontrol -m on". This all happened
with moused in its default state.
