KDE 3.4 Debian USB Mouse Not working

wally42 · 02-17-2006, 05:11 PM

Hello,
I've done a bunch seaching and reading and i can't seem to find the exact same issue. I'm running KDE on a debian distro and the USB mouse won't work.
lsusb returns:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 413c:3200 Dell Computer Corp.

The mouse is a Dell USB ball type wheel and two buttons.

I found a little app called usbview and it can see the USB port and sees the Dell USB Mouse from within KDE.

But the mouse doesn't work....

Any Help?

sounds like a prob with your xorg.conf

what does your section relating to the mouse/mice look like??

it might reference the wrong device in /dev/ e.g /dev/psaux and not /dev/input/mice. or the other way round

and might use the wrong protocol. i use auto normally.

At first I did not have a xorg.conf, so I ran xorgconf and created one here's the section:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto" # Auto detect
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"

Thanks for the speedy reply!!

try changing this line:

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"

to

Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"

that did not do it.
I am still having the same problem, just can't get the mouse to work.

Help!!!!

maybe post your xorg....

maybe boot without the mouse.

then (not in X) plug it in and see what "dmesg" says....
