Gnome Volume Applet hates mouse wheel ..

Hi, I noticed that the Gnome Volume Applets when is controlled with the mouse wheel sometimes acts very weird...
to explain me a little better if i rotate the mouse wheel above its icon to increase volume there are certain values wherein it gets excluded/disabled (dunno the official translation).
does it only happens to me?
thx for your replies
[edit] uhm I forgot to mention a thing, I've tried with gnome-applets from the extra repo (gnome 2.22) and with the latest (this evening versions) of gnome-applets (+ libweather + gnome-panel )( because there is a boring crash of clock_applet with latest version of gnome-applets... but this is another story ) from AUR.

It's some bug in alsa that freaks out on volume control with the gnome volume applet. This happened since the upgrade to kernel 2.6.25. There's an upstream bug running at kernel.org's bugzilla for this, but I guess it's something in alsa-lib.
Edit:
It's something that changed in event handling that causes the gnome volume control thing to go in a loop:

[SOLVED]HDMI audio and gnome volume applet issues

Hi all,
After setting up Arch without too many problems came the real pain in the ass: HDMI audio over a Asus NVIDIA GeForce EN210....
Eventually I got everything to work with the help of the ASLA en Pulse wiki pages, but I found the last piece of the puzzle here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HO … ,_or_GT240
Maybe this is useful for others too.
The only problem I have now is that the ALSA deamon fails to load. I found this in the boot log file (/var/log/boot):
Thu Apr 12 13:54:19 2012: :: Restoring ALSA Levels [BUSY] Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Nvidia GPU 0b HDMI/DP" "HDA:10de000b,10de0101,00100200" "0x1043" "0x8343"
Thu Apr 12 13:54:20 2012: Hardware is initialized using a generic method
Does this mean I don't need the alsa deamon anymore? Sound still works normally after boot but a strange thing is that I can turn up and down the volume with the gnome shell volume applet but the volume of media applications like vlc do not react. Same problem with flash video's like youtube. I do hear the "blip" sound from the applet.
Does anyone have ideas how to fix this?

How to remap mouse wheel in single application?

Hello,
I want to achieve simple thing - control audio in Smplayer using mouse wheel. The tricky part is that I need to control the master volume on my AV receiver because the audio in videos is played as bitstream (DTS/AC3 over SPDIF). I'm able to modify the mouse wheel actions in mplayer but unfortunatelly Smplayer doesn't allow such remapping: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/forum/v … f=2&t=6077
I already use xbindkeys with xvkbd for application specific remapping of both keyboard and mouse. I can remap the wheel for Smplayer window but I'm unable to figure out how to make sure the wheel will work for other applications as well - I'm just unable to simulate mouse wheel action for applications other than Smplayer. (Or is there any other way how to not modify the button for other applications?)
If I try only simulating the wheel, it doesn't work...
# .xbindkeysrc
"xdotool click 4"
m:0x0 + b:4
# or
"xvkbd -text "\m4""
m:0x0 + b:4
However if I add "sleep 0.2" before xvkbd or xdotool, it works (but this is unacceptable delay for me). Also if I try to simulate wheel on keyboard press, it works even without the sleep.
Any help or suggestion?

not really.. sorry

Mouse wheel events aren't caught in browser

Hello.
I developed an applet with NetBeans 6.5 with mouse wheel zooming. In applet viewer everything works fine, but when I start applet in page in browser (I tried Firefox 3.0.6, MS IE 6.0, MS IE 7.0), no mouse wheel events (neither scrolling) are caught by applet.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

The reason behind this is: When applet is run on web browser, the applet window does not get focus. If you can grab the focus somehow, mouse wheel events will work fine. However, this works fine in applet viewer and in older versions of JDK. This is broken in JDK 1.6 and already fixed in JDK 1.7. Please have a look into this bug:
[http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6516675|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6516675]
If you run following applet in your browser you will see mouse wheel events in action with JDK1.6:
[In case it does not work, click on 'Click Me' button and try]
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;

        XPane xPane = new XPane();
        //xPane.requestFocus();
        JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(xPane);
        //add(new JButton("Click Me"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
        add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    class XPane extends JPanel {

        public XPane() {
            jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
            addMouseWheelListener(new java.awt.event.MouseWheelListener() {
                public void mouseWheelMoved(java.awt.event.MouseWheelEvent evt) {
                    formMouseWheelMoved(evt);
            jLabel1.setText("Mouse Wheel Info...");

My mouse wheel went crazy.

I was using fluxbox and firefox, then I installed gnome yesterday. Now my mouse wheel "jumps up and down" when I try to scroll webpages. It even does it if I am using fluxbox. Or using the rox filemanager.
My /etc/X11/XF86Config hasn't changed since the 4-4-2004, and of course has the lines:
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
It is "active", it just jumps back the opposite direction I scroll in. I can't scroll webpages, just makes them jump up and down.
Any ideas whats going on with my mouse? It's a Kensington USB optical mouse. The only thing I can think of is that installing Gnome and all its little pieces screwed something up.

whol wrote:It's a Kensington USB optical mouse...
I have a USB optical mouse as well. Change your "Device" option and "Protocol" option. The entry you should have is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
I think you just had some bad combinations of settings. "/dev/usbmouse" is just a symlink to "/dev/input/mice", but make sure you are using the "ImPS/2" protocol as well. My scroll works in every application. Hope that helps.

IBM Thinkpad T40 volume applet???

I have bought an old Thinkpad T40 recently and managed to install Arch and XFCE4 successfully.
Now I'm trying to get everything working.
My question is about volume applet (or maybe it has an other name?).
Initially I ran Ubuntu live CD on it and noticed nice window popping up (at the bottom of screen), when I pressed the volume buttons on keyboard.
Can I get something similar in Arch (XFCE4)?
Volume buttons work - they just visually don't change anything.
Thanks in advance,
Zig

Thank you!
Tpb does the trick.
But I still have one question.
There is a Archwiki entry Thinkpad OSD which says:
~/.kde/Autostart/tpb-startup.sh:
# Start Thinkpad OSD daemon
if [ -x /usr/bin/tpb ] && [ -w /dev/nvram ] && [ -r /dev/nvram ]; then
/usr/bin/tpb -d
fi
I'm Gnome user and can start /usr/bin/tpb -d from console, but it seems doesn't work when I add it to auto started applications.
What could be wrong in this case?
Thanks,
Zig

Logitech mouse wheel stopped working

Hello,
I had this mouse for a long time. It's a Logitech Cordless Optical mouse connected to a Linksys KVM (I share with 4 different computers). Last week the mouse scroll wheel stooped working. I tried another Logitech mouse (G9) to directly to the USB of my Mac and the mouse wheel scrolls fine.
Now the problem's the old mouse wheel works fine on my other computers. I tried turning the KVM off, resetting the IR unit, and of course rebooting my mac. Nothing worked. The odd thing is, if I connect the old mouse directly to the Mac, it works OK.
I really hate the G9. I'd rather stick with my current mouse, but I need the scroll wheel. Any ideas?

Your profile lists one of the computers as "Hackintosh." Because OS X is licensed for use only with Apple branded computers & the Discussions Terms of Use prohibit discussing illegal uses of software, & equally importantly because we have no idea of how running a hacked version of OS X on non-Apple hardware might be a part of your problem, we cannot help you.
Sorry.

[Counter Strike 1.6] Mouse wheel working poorly

I've been playing CS since 2003 and I've always jumped with MWHEELDOWN, I even still have my Logitech MX310 from 2003 and the wheel works perfectly on every other game I try (I can prove it). But since a few months ago or even less I can't use the mouse wheel anymore, there's something wrong with the game in regards to using it, be it to jump or scroll through the game command line or any wheel operation in Counter Strike.
Anybody else having this? Other people using other distros reported that the mouse wheel works fine for them. So I guess this is a Valve problem with newer software.
BTW my mouse is old and I know it. The wheel works fine on every game I have except Counter Strike. I tried different mouses but they all show the same bug in-game, so it's not a problem with the mouse. Also, Valve have been doing a lot of mistakes with updates to Counter Strike. I notified them on Github about this problem. So if anyone have the game on Steam, please test it and let's solve this problem together.

It's a problem with my config.cfg
This is weird, I've been using this same config over the past years and it never gave me problems. I couldn't find any problems with it so I'll post it here.
// This file is overwritten whenever you change your user settings in the game.
// Add custom configurations to the file "userconfig.cfg".

Switch between desktops using mouse wheel

Just a simple question - is there a possibility to switch desktop with use of the mouse wheel on the desktop background? I know it is possible in XFCE, but how about KDE or GNOME?
Why it is important to me - I have simplified changing desktops by setting a 5 pixel margin on the bottom and the right of the screen, so there is always desktop background visible. To switch desktop I simply move mouse to the edge of the screen and scroll - simple, fast and efficient. And funny - this is the main thing that binds me to XFCE, even though my computer is fast enough to handle KDE4 .
Some time ago I have installed GNOME, and later KDE4.1, and tried to find such feature, but I did not succeed unfortunately, even though I spend some time over the documentation and the settings panels. Currently with the introducing KDE4.2 and nvidia-180 driver, which improves 2D graphics somewhat (i.eg. gtkperf gives now 6.5 sec instead of 9.5 that it used to be before upgrade) I'm interested in switching to KDE. Can anyone help me?
P.S. Sorry fo my english
Last edited by Devastator (2009-01-17 11:16:10)

Sure, with compiz you can do a lot more than this . I've installed KDE4 again, but cannot get it to switch desktops the way I wanted. Scroll over pager works on every DE, though it requires precise mouse aiming over the pager. In XFCE I don't have to aim - just move the mouse to the side of the screen (where I have margin set, so desktop is available there) and scroll.
Alt+scroll requires additional movement, which is annoying when for example I do things, that don't require keyboard use (like composing the playlist, browsing the web, changing the GTK2 themes and so on ). I like minimizing things to do to achieve the goal. Therefore I also use cairo-dock, which removed additional mouse click (for raising the menu) when opening the most used applications...
A funny and I think useful feature I found in KDE4 is action bound to scroll over the window titlebar - it moves the window and the user to the next desktop .

Fluxbox mouse wheel window shading patch

Hey all, i was an avid kahakai user (a wm) and really enjoyed shading my windows via the mouse wheel. I recently switched the fluxbox, and the damn thing doesn't have a way to configure mouse binds outside the source, so i wrote a patch to have fluxbox let me shade and unshade my windows.

apply with patch -p0 < fluxbox_mouse-wheel-shading.patch in the fluxbox-devel main directory. If you don't know what window shading is, it is the coolest thing ever. And i mean ever.

I got this working again with fluxbox 1.0rc3 and figured i would post it in case anyone else wanted to use it. thanks watah for originally making this.
save it as fluxbox.patch in your build directory.

Gnome Volume Control

Im having problems with changing the volume of any of outputs PCM, master. When I wan't to scroll up on Volume control applet and Volume Control Aplication gnome-volume-control Left chanel always drops to 0 and than slowly rises with a lot of jumps up and down. This jumping exists if I grab slider to. So...
Its really anoying cause when using scroll whell on applet I have to scrool many times to get max volume if starting volume vas even 70%.
So question ofcourse is how to fix this left chanell jumping.
BTW I now use GNOME 2.24 but this was present in 2.22 to.
BTW when I was using Ubuntu this problem didn't occur. So its gnome+arch problem.

And to me too.
The sound chip sucks anyway: CM6501, module snd-usb-audio.
Seems like multi-channel controllers are the culprit:
Simple mixer control 'Speaker',1
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right - Rear Left - Rear Right - Front Center - Woofer - Side Left - Side Right
(from amixer)

How to fire mouse wheel events to parent container?

Hi,
When I create a JPanel (let's say jParent) inside a JScrollPane and this JPanel is larger than the current viewport I can use my mouse wheel to scroll the JPanel's containt without coding anything about that.
But if I add another JPanel-derived component (let's say jChild) to the first JPanel, mouse wheel events are not received by the first JPanel when the mouse is over the new added child JPanel.
How can I forward child's mouse wheel events to the first JPanel?
If I use:
jChild.addMouseWheelListener(jParent)I must implement a mouseWheelMoved() method in jParent that requires some code to work while it was doing it byitself before...
Thanks in advance for any help :-)
Regards,
Lara.

you have a mouseWheelListener added to jChild?
if so, in the mouseWheelMoved code include this line
jParent.dispatchEvent(mouseWheelEvent);//or to the scrollpane

How to use Mouse Wheel Events

Hello Everyone
I am using Datagrid in my Canvas.
I use mouse wheel to scroll the datagrid. But in one scroll
through that wheel make the more than 4 rows to be scroll.
So Now my requirement is to control the delta value of mouse
wheel event and how to use that with my datagrid so that i will
able to scroll one row through mouse wheel scroller.
Thanks

please give me some suggestion around it.
I want to scroll one row of datagrid with per mousewheel
scroll. I am not getting how to use the scrollMouseWheelMultiplier
property of the IConfiguration class because i am not able to
create the object of this class.
I am using the Flex 3.0 and flash 9 version.
please help me out around this.

How do make the mouse wheel scroll in my Flex app/component instead of the browser?

Let's say I have a DataGrid or Tree or List component which
has hundreds of rows. When I place my mouse over the component and
scroll the mouse wheel, I notice that [most of the time] it scrolls
the component a little, then starts scrolling the browser window. I
want it to only scroll the component until it reaches the end of
the rows. Any thoughts?

I have confronted the same issue.
Was anybody able to solve it?
I think mx.contorols.TextArea seems to do well.

SWF in iFrame - How to get mouse wheel to work

I have been searching for a solution to this for a few days
without any luck. I was hoping someone here may have come across
this problem and know of a solution, or know if it just is not
possible.
I have a static page which consists of an iframe, picture and
a div with some links. The image is an image map and set to load
all links within the iframe. The flash itself is a 360 degree
panoramic view with hotspots (links) within the file that also
point to other pages. My issue is that the mouse wheel scroll is
supposed to be a zoom in/out feature, which work with the flash
file and full screen view. However, when the file is loaded within
the iframe, the scroll wheel on the mouse will only scroll the page
and will not interact with the flash file at all.
The problem seems to be with the following browsers (PC):
Chrome 0.4
Opera 9.5
Firefox 3.0
The zoom works in IE6, although the page does scroll with it.
When I disabled the page from scrolling (see index2.html) the zoom
stops working. This is probably due to the code used to disable the
mouse. I really need to try to get the mouse wheel to zoom in
FireFox 3 though. The large majority of our visitors are PC users
with FireFox 3 or IE 7, so these are the two most important
browsers to have working.
The pages are still currently under development but examples
are online here:
http://www.utoledo.edu/campus/virtualtour/maincampus/index.html
-Normal page
http://www.utoledo.edu/campus/virtualtour/maincampus/index2.html
-Page with scrolling disabled
Does anyone have any ideas for a possible solution? Thanks
for taking the time to help.

As far as I know,there is no facility for detecting mouse scrolling wheel in JDK 1.3.
Check it in the later releases of JDK.
