Re: Lenny: mouse srewed in OpenGL application

Hello,

I hope I picked the correct list for my problem.

I recently installed Debian lenny on a Pentium 4 with Radeon 9800 Pro
graphic chip.

Everything worked fine as usually until I wanted to use a graphics program
which uses OpenGL.
Amongst others, the program accepts the following mouse actions:

Centre-click on a displayed point centres on the point
Ctrl-righ-click moves the scene sideways.

On this installation, the centre-click is responded with "Atom pick
failed" and nothing happens, the Ctrl-right-click results in arbitrary
jumps far, far away from the current view point and a distortion of the
view.

Today I noticed the same behaviour on my laptop where it definitely worked
until recently (unfortunately I don't know, HOW recently, otherwise I
would check what has been updated since).

Both machines use the ATI prorietry driver, but I also tried the ati and
radeon drivers.

I am quite sure it is a software error related to the (Debian) system
rather than the program because the problem persists if I open the program
through an ssh tunnel from another machine but disappears when done the
other way round (started on another machine opened on mine).

I would appreciate any hints and ideas how I could trace back the problem
and solve it.

Cheers, Tim
Hi Tim,
I'm also using Lenny (2.6.22 kernel) with fglrx for a Radeon 9550 video
card. I am not getting this mouse behaviour when running opengl graphics
programs (ppracer, google-earth, neverball, etc.). Can you post the section
of your xorg.conf file dealing with the pointing device? Maybe there's a
difference in our two setups that might help find the problem.
Cheers,
Jonathan
