Mouse problem

surj3 · 12-05-2002, 11:15 PM

I have a Logitech Wireless optical mouse. When booting up after gpm is started my keyboard will not work, but if i boot off the cd my mouse and keyboard will run fine after gpm is started... i disabled gpm from loading up on boot and everything runs fine... what is the prob?

is it usb

gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2

or ps2

gpm -m /dev/psaux -t imps2

heh, daniel.

I told you how to fix it in *real life*
Your memory sucks.

just run 'mouseconfig'

or do what David said.
However you can also use your ps2/usb converter to make your mouse and keyboard ps2, thats better anyways.
in mouseconfig choose imps2.

By the way
my car is faster than yours,Daniel.

I have a Logitech usb mouse which I am using with the ps2 adapter. I have slack 8.1 installed. I am using imps/2 in my X11 config file and the mouse works flawlessly in X. The mouse also works flawlessly using GPM on boot-up. However, after starting and exiting from X a couple of times, the mouse works erratically under GPM (still fine though in X) I don't want to disable GPM because I use it so much.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

john

have you tried it without the adapter, as a usb mouse

yes it doesn't make a difference.
I also tried configuring gpm to use the ps/2, imps/2 and usb setting no luck

thanks!
