Microsoft Wireless Desktop with Debian/Fluxbox

switch007 · 11-13-2005, 08:51 AM

I have a microsoft wireless keyboard and optical mouse on debian, 2.4 kernel with fluxbox.

The keyboard works fine, but the mouse will click randomly whenever i move it, making it near impossible to use!

This is from my XFree86-4 config:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Note they both work fine under Windows so i dont think its a problem with the actual hardware. It also works fine under Ubuntu 5.04, with a very similar configuration, but that uses xorg i think and Gnome, so could it be a problem with fluxbox?

I Have tried various protocols but they rendered it totally unusable.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Could just be fluxbox, I had a similar experience in damn small linux, I switched out mice and voila!

Not much of a solution though, especially if it's an expensive mouse.
