I'm having a lot of trouble with my middle mouse button.
In particular, if I move the mouse while holding down button 2, it
thinks I've released button 2. Further, once I DO release button 2, it
thinks I single-click button 2.
I am using gpm -R and X is reading from /dev/gpmdata.
I have tried many other configurations, and all have the same problem.
This did not happen under Picasso.
Here's the annotated output of xev:
