Which config for mouse?
I've got Debian 3.0 installed with kernel 2.2.20. Trying to get my GE 5 button scroll mouse (ps2 connection) to work. I did some searches and it seems a lot of people edit their config files. I looked around and found a folder that I think might contain the right file to edit, but don't know for sure.
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/ xfree86.cf didn't have any of the lines that looked like what was posted. What might be another file to look into? |
if its the Xfree86 server:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or if its the Xorg server: /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
ooOOooooo I guess that directory is hidden or something? I didn't see it listed but tried it anyway and got in.
I found two entries in the Config-4 file that are for mice. A generic, and a configured. I don't know which to play around with. Also, do I have to be in root mode to edit this? Is there anything to do after editing&saving the file? Or should it work right after I save? |
Okay, making a little progress. Tried a few changes to the file and also played around with xev. I noticed that nothing happens when I use the scroll wheel. it doesn't tell me which, or any button is being used when I scroll up or down. On a related note, it also doesn't tell me about the two extra side buttons when I press those.
Anyone have experience with this mouse? Any ideas for lines to add to teh config file? Thanks again |
for the scroll button, add the following lines
######## after: Option "Prototcol" ..... Option "Device" ....... add: Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" ####### that will enable the scroll button The one you want to edit is under the section "InputDevice" |
