Symptoms
When a Logitech serial Mouseman (the new "ergonomic" model) is used,
Warp goes through long periods where it fails to recognise right
button action. (Feelx, when installed, continues to recognise these
OK.) None of the selective install mice drivers work any better. Old
C7 and M-series mice work fine, and the Mouseman itself works fine
under DOS, Windows-under-DOS, DOS VDMs, and Win-OS/2.
Hardware
Logitech serial Mouseman.
Problem
Unknown.
Fix
A workaround is to click the middle
mouse button in the (empty) desktop after starting OS/2. This seems
to eliminate the problem (until the next time you start OS/2).
Lars Eriksen (hallstro@oslonett.no) writes (19th July, 1995):
There is now a much better solution, pointed out to me by a person on the
OS/2 Hotline. There exists a fix, a replacement mouse.sys
, that
solves the problem. The replacement is contained in a file called
l_ms_os2.zip
(click to download) which is available at the
LEO OS/2 Archive. A
readme
file explains how to install it.
But I'm still waiting for a driver that supports the middle button (for
fast cut-and-paste, for example.) Logitech readily admits it's their
responsibility to write one but made no promises (I called their support
line.)
Nathan Walker writes (19th July, 1995):
Another place to find l_ms_os2.zip is at
the Dell ftp site.
