Problems with USB mouse's axis

elvijs · 06-21-2007, 03:39 PM

Hi! Recently I upgraded to Slackware 11 and tried to make usable my Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 (previously I had no success). In mouseconfig I took USB connected mouse and it worked... but not the way I would like to. The problem is that the mouse's axis are wrong - when I move the mouse left and right, the pointer moves up and down, when I move the mouse up and down, OS thinks that I move my scroll button (I still haven't figured out what to do to make the pointer move left and right

This covers not only x-windows, but also console. Well, that's the problem. Hope someone can help. I'd really appreciate it.

I use the wireless MS explorer 2.0 mouse here are the relevant xorg.conf sections

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option         "Buttons" "5"
EndSection

Really thanks, but unfortunately it didn't help. The same issue still exists. I just discovered that I can move my pointer to the right by clicking the right button

Updated: I found a solution. I remebered that with the mouse came an adapter for PS/2 port, so I used it. As a protocol I used ImPS/2 and everything works fine. But if someone knows how to make the mouse work through USB port, please, post a solution here.
