wrong mouse configuration.

Can try edit the /etc/xorg.conf

or

While in terminal mode run program "xorgconfig". It first section is the configuration of the mouse.

i checked xorgconfig every thing is setup right... but mouse still moving very slow =/

I couldn't advise any further but there is a bit of "fine" tuning one can do with xorg configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I have never had the need to alter the mouse setting there. I copied the setting of the one that works and paste it there.

could you paste that code here for me? maybe i could use it.

Don't think it will work as our mice may be different. I use a standard cheapy PS/2 one.

Anyway if it can be of any use to you here is my mouse setting in Wolvix 1.0.5 and Slackware 10 respectively

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option	"ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option	"Buttons" "3"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"

EndSection

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"

EndSection

If it's a USB mouse do you have usbhid enabled in the kernel?

artistik · 01-14-2007, 07:03 PM

Not a USB mouse... just an old fashioned mouse... mouse works.. but moves slows... when i click on something it wont open it... if i move to the left.. it moves slowly there...

I have a similar problem in FreeBSd I installed today. Just by trying different settings I got it back to normal. The mouse behaviour can depend on the xorg version so just try different protocols.

artistik · 01-14-2007, 11:45 PM

any ideas into which protocol you think would work for a cheapo mouse besides ps/2?

saikee · 01-15-2007, 02:43 AM

You can get a full list of possibilities when you run "xorgconfig".

artistik · 01-17-2007, 04:27 PM

heh none of them work... dont know what the problem is. =/
