Setting ps/2 mouse in Debian sarge
I can't put a ps/2 mouse to work. Shall I dettach the old serial before? The fact that the keyb is ps/2 also can be a problem? Using debian sarge. Most likely its some silly issue, because a knoppix live cd found it and used it out of the box. I just can't see where is the problem.
X picks the "Configured" mouse, instead of the generic. Also, I have the gpm package installed and running. Thanks! This is how my XF86Config-4 reads (the relevant section): Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" Option "Protocol" "Microsoft" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Buttons" "3" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection |
I would try this;
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Buttons" "3" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Buttons" "3" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection also you could run; #dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 |
Hi friend. I tried it, but no good.
I was using the manuals available at debian's www, stating that the chain should be: mouse -> /dev/psaux -> gpm -> /dev/gpmdata = /dev/mouse -> X with an additional option if you don't want to use the gpm daemon. The problem seems to be that I don't have the device /dev/psaux no matter what I try. bruno@frank:~$ ls -l /dev/psaux ls: /dev/psaux: No such file or directory Booting from kurumin cd (knoppix based distro), both mice work (ps/2 and serial). Any clues? |
as root see what device you do have
Code:
cd /dev |
