USB mouse showing as keyboard
I have a copperhead mouse that I can't get running. Normally I can search and figure this out but apparently everybody else has theres running.lol. The problem is that the mouse is showing up as a keyboard and a mouse. I looked at xmodmap -pp output and it says I should have 11 buttons. Various different configurations always end up saying that there should be 11 buttons instead of 7 when i run
the xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" command. I have never dealt with anything like this before so I have no idea what to do.Any suggestions? I'm in slamd64 and this is my only usb device. |
Was able to find the answer. Apparently the newer versions of xorg assume 11 buttons. So all I had to do was configure x correctly.
If you have this problem try this: Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping""4 5" Option "ButtonMapping"" 1 2 3 6 7" Option "Resolution" "2000" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off" I dont know if it has to be exactly this way but it works for me. Still can't figure out why the bootloader says I have a copperhead mouse and a copperhead keyboard? Guess it doesn't matter. Everything works now. |
Thanks for posting a fix. I was considering purchasing one of these and the thread title caught my eye.
