mousewheel not working in KDE

English Hardware
1

Since upgrading to LP 15.4 the mousewheel does not work in KDE anymore.
Strange, the mousewheel DOES work in firefox though…

I use a Logitech M330 cordless mouse with a Logitech USB receiver.

What helps is to plug the receiver and put it back.

But, as mentioned in firefox mousewheel always works, just not in KDE, but always pulling the receiver is not my desired solution…

Any hints?

Looks like you’re using a different driver than here, where there’s nothing wireless involved:

# inxi -S

Maybe a switch would clear it up.

What does your system report?

4

Try

yast2-/etc/sysconfig Editor-Hardware-Mouse-Console-MOUSETYPE.

Try the different options

You can try to install

xdotool

or

xev

to test your mouse.

This happens, when you do an online distribution upgrade, you carry old, deprecated configuration files along…

Cause for the problem was an outdated **/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse.conf

**Changing

Driver "evdev"

to

**Driver “libinput”

**did the trick, this is now the working 50-mouse.conf I use.

Though, maybe you even do not need 50-mouse.conf at all, but haven´t tried that yet.
I guess /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf automatically sets up everything, for now I stick with 50-mouse.conf.



$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse.conf 

Section "InputDevice"

        Identifier  "Logitech-M330"

        # Driver      "evdev" # probably deprecated !
        Driver  "libinput"

        # /dev/input/mouse1 is external mouse, mouse0 is touchpad
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
        
        Option      "CorePointer"
        Option      "ConstantDeceleration" "5"
        Option      "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
EndSection

That can happen, but removing 50-mouse.conf should have been sufficient here. You should have 40-libinput.conf present to take care of the necessary.
