Re: How to prevent double X pastes?

[Robert J. Chassell]

[Earlier I said,
    This is very likely an X issue, not a GNU Emacs issue.  I would like
    a work around.

    How do I prevent a region being pasted twice when I copy the primary
    region with my mouse from GNU Emacs to an xterm or an RXVT shell in
    X?]

James Cloos <address@hidden> responded and asked,

    Do you have a three button mouse, or are you using middle button
    emulation?

three button

    Is the mouse ps/2 or usb?

ps/2

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
       
Occasionally, I plug in a USB mouse with a wheel that I can use as a
center button, but have not recently.  I have not plugged it in when I
had double pastings.  For my USB mouse, even though it is not plugged
in, my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has a section that says:

        Identifier      "USBMice"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Protocol"              "IMPS/2"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"

I do not have evdev* in /dev/, /dev/input/, or /etc/X11/xorg.conf
