Running fvwm2 on a new copy of Gentoo w/ Lenovo ThinkPad X13 (Ryzen).
I've installed a new copy of Gentoo w/ FVWM 2.6.9 & Fluxbox for comparison.
The Gentoo build is from 2.7.0.
Copy over my ./.fvwm/config file.
As a santiy check I start up Fluxbox, and all three buttons work
as expected. Fluxbox maps button2 to their desktop handler [blech,
the FvwmPager is a lot nicer to use]. Point is that all three
buttons work.
Exit Fluxbox, hack .xinitrc replacing the "startfluxbox" with
exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session fvwm > ~/.fvwm.out 2>&1;
Everything works out of the box execpt for Button2 in fvwm controls.
Example: Say I start up an xterm (e.g., sakura). Double-click hilites,
middle click pastes. This makes me believe that the hardware is working
(along with fluxbox) and that the events are being delivered.
Now say I try to use the middle-button w/ FVWM: nada. Clicking on
the empty screen area doesn't pull up the menu, I cannot use the
middle-click to move windows in FvwmPager, in all cases pressing
and holding the middle button freezes the cursor.
Checking with xev, I get immediate button KeyPress/KeyRelase events
from B1 & B3; the B2 seems to be buffered: I press it and nothing
shows up in xev until I release B2 and then I get both the press
and release events.
I haven't been able to uncover any similar behavor described on
the fvwm2 or SuSE forums and wandering through the bios hasn't
shown me anything that wants to configure the buttons.
Q: Has anyone seen this performace before?
Q: Any solutions for it?
Thanks
1. The button/mouse config entries in my ~/.fvwm/config.
These work without any problem in a neighboring Gentoo
system, the problems when I start using fvwm 2.7.0 on
the new gentoo system:
$ grep -v '^#' .fvwm/config | egrep -i '(button|mouse)';

2. Sample xev output showing result of preting each buttin in order
witout any motion or other keypress.
Sequence of button presses is only: button 1, button 2, button 3,
no other keys. The LeaveNotify and EnterNotify are unique to button 2,
not sure if those matter.
