I'll do my best to describe this problem.
* Red Hat 4.0, all update RPMs applied
* Metro-X 3.1.2 X server
* three button generic serial mouse
* gpm -R (and the middle button works fine in text console)
* Metro-X configured to read mousesystems data from /dev/gpmdata
The mouse worked fine before upgrading to Red Hat 4.0.
Example from xterm:
[Control+Middle Button] pops up the VT Options menu. As soon as I
_move_ the mouse at all, the menu disappears. If I then _release_ the
mouse button (holding the mouse still), the menu appears again. If I
then move the mouse the menu disappears.
(This makes it impossible to use the VT Options menu.)
Example from xdvi:
[Control+Middle Button] pops up the 'medium' zoom box. As soon as I
_move_ the mouse at all, the zoom box goes away. If I then _release_
the mouse button (holding the mouse still), the box appears again. If I
then move the mouse the box disappears.
(This makes it annoying to use the medium zoom box, as it cannot be
moved around.)
