[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] My problem with Solitile

schock@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de (Roland Schock) (07/25/89)

In article <102760015@hpcvlx.HP.COM> everett@hpcvlx.HP.COM (Everett Kaser)
mentioned a problem with solitile. And he wants to know about some
more problems out there. ( I don't know if he's the author. I hope so.)

I have a problem with my Logitech mouse and Solitile on my VEGA 7
Board. The mouse cursor is movable on the screen, but the buttons
won't work. It seems, that the right button is working sometimes
(it looks like an automatic doubleclick) and the left button is
dead. If I use the Home/End keys instead of the mouse buttons,
the program works properly.

Yes, I am the author, and the problem you describe is the same one that several
people with Logitech mice (and one with a Microsoft mouse) have had.  I've
had a couple of people look at my code (it's a straight INT 33h mouse 
interface) and no one has been able to spot a problem.  From the symptoms, it
appears to be very closely related to the mouse driver version and the speed
of the computer it's running on.  Anyway, a patched version that works around
this problem has just been posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc, called SOLITILE 1.3
and it should fix your problem.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
