  • mouse wheel

    From tony@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 26 13:20:01 2024
    Hi,

    Debian 10/KDE.

    My mouse wheel seems to have (suddenly) stopped working and will not
    scroll. Anyone come across this? Help much appreciated.

    Cheers, Tony

    Run xev and the scroll the wheel and check the output.

    You should see something like this:
    ButtonPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x557, subw 0x0, time 45498783, (88,110), root:(400,614),
    state 0x10, button 4, same_screen YES

    ButtonRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x557, subw 0x0, time 45498783, (88,110), root:(400,614),
    state 0x810, button 4, same_screen YES

    ButtonPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x557, subw 0x0, time 45500535, (88,110), root:(400,614),
    state 0x10, button 5, same_screen YES

    ButtonRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x557, subw 0x0, time 45500535, (88,110), root:(400,614),
    state 0x1010, button 5, same_screen YES

    If that occurs, the mouse itself is working.

    Thank you very much. It was indeed the mouse that had failed. I
    'borrowed' a mouse from my laptop, which worked fine. Thanks again.

    Open it and check if there is dirt in the spokewheel. This will block
    the light for the optomechanical sensor.
