New installation after a hard disk crash.New hard drive. I installed using the minimal cd following the how-to closely. i then " emerge kde " version 3.5.7 24 hours later ,system was ready , xorg config was done and i have normal X.The problem is the mouse. It wont right click anything on the desk right. Ex : right click on the desk and for a millisecond you see the popup menu and it closes right back.No way to use the right click at all. The left click is just as bad. Click on a menu item and it will highlight it .. but not show anything ,move it left or right and then the drop down will appear and you can select items. Left clicking on any link in konqueror does nothing but highlight the word from the url title .Same if you try to enter a bug in bugzilla ..trying to use the mouse to get to an edit point will only highlight the closest word .This makes for an almost unusable desk except for a very important point and clue : The mouse behaves ok in x-chat. left click right click. url's are opening normally. If you got any ideas what's going on please contact me as soon as possible. as per request this is the emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.22-gento

i forgot to mention that i did several revdep-rebuild to check for inconsistencies. also make an emerge -UDavN world followed by yet another revdep-rebuild ( both of the revdep's showed nothing borked ) then rebuilt kdelibs. no go .. situation was unchanged so i filed this report.
last : forgot to add as a symptom that if you try to paste anything , it pastes it twice :) Sorry , i didnt see it when i posted the emerge --info Ric
Does mouse work correctly outside of KDE (say, Xfce, Gnome or whatever else)?
Jakub : sorry for the time wasted. the bug was also present in the other desks. i rolled back xorg-server , recompiled mouse , keyboard and video driver and kde and other desks now work fine. Certainly not a kde bug but very much a xorg-server and related bug Thanks for all who tried to help in gentoo kde. Ric
Well, so... which xorg-server version it misbehaves in? Plus which driver and version? x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse or x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev, or both?
fair enough .. i had : xorg-server ~1.4-r1 now 1.3.0.0 with xf86-input-mouse 1.2.2 which i still have .. so that one didnt change but was rebuilt and xf86-input-keyboard version ~1.2.2 that was also rolled back to 1.1.1. that's it. Hope it helps someone :)
xorg-server 1.4 and newer use HAL to autoconfigure input devices. If you don't want to configure HAL to setup your devices, you can tell Xorg to ignore it by add this bit to your xorg.conf in the ServerFlags section: Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" Thanks
