Hi,
I am a newbie to Slackware and I installed Slack 10.1 on my linux box. Everything went fine but my HP optical usb mouse is not working. Eventhough it is giving some movements but it's not scrolling horizontally and no action at all. I am giving my xrog.conf configuration below for mouse:
=======================
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
============================

when I cecked the xorg.log I found in(/var/log/):

(**) Keyboard1: XkbModel: "pc104"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
(**) Keyboard1: XkbLayout: "us"
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) Keyboard1: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard1" (type: KEYBOARD)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE)
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
(II) Mouse1: GuessProtocol: setting mouse protocol to "PS/2"
(II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list
==========================================================

Can anyone please help me find out exactly whats the problem is?


thanks in advance,

maybe you should try to run xorgconfig again, I dont know exactly what the problem is but I kniw that I had some problems with my
Logitech MX500 optical mouse last year and some guy on this forum told med to edit some file (dont remember wich one) to get the scrolling function to work..

Are you shure that /dev/input/mice really points to your usb mouse device?

If you do a "ls -lap /dev/input", what does "mice" look like?

Hi,
When I did "ls -lap /dev/input" I got serveral files including,
mice, mouse1, mouse2, mouse3 etc. I tried with xorgconfig but no use.

Try this:
Option "SendCoreEvents" "True"

hi,
I just upgraded mykernel to linux-generic-2.6.10XX and everything is working fine.


thanks once again,
L
