Bus Mouse or Serial Mouse
I am having problem configuring bus mouse and/or serial mouse. I am using mandrake linux ver 8.2. I am also new to linux OS.
Thank you in advance. Raj |
Serial Mouse with Xserver
You will need to setup correctly the Xfree86 or Xconfig config file of your X server.
These files can be found in /etc/X11 or /etc/Xconfig or /etc/XF86Config or /usr/X11/lib/X11/XF86Config YOu will have to tell the X server you are using BusMouse protocol and serial mice. Of course after setup you will need to restart X server (ctrl+alt+backspace) SOme examples : Microsoft Serial Mouse * XF86config: Section "Pointer" Protocol "microsoft" Device "/dev/mouse" EndSection * Xconfig: # # Mouse definition and related parameters # Microsoft "/dev/mouse" Microsoft Serial Mouse with Three Button Emulation * XF86config: Section "Pointer" Protocol "microsoft" Device "/dev/mouse" Emulate3Buttons EndSection * Xconfig: # # Mouse definition and related parameters # Microsoft "/dev/mouse" Emulate3Buttons MouseSystems Three Button Serial Mouse * XF86config: Section "Pointer" Protocol "mousesystems" Device "/dev/mouse" ClearDTR # These two lines probably won't be needed, ClearRTS # try without first and then just the DTR EndSection * Xconfig: # # Mouse definition and related parameters # MouseSystems "/dev/mouse" ClearDTR # These two lines probably won't be needed, ClearRTS # try without first and then just the DTR Microsoft Serial Mouse with gpm -R * XF86config: Section "Pointer" Protocol "MouseSystems" Device "/dev/gpmdata" EndSection * Xconfig: # # Mouse definition and related parameters # MouseSystems "/dev/gpmdata" |
and BE SURE to turn off GPM before startx !!!!
(killall gpm or gpm -k ) |
