USB mouse moves up/down no right/left
I am using a Logitech Cordless Freedom Pro which has a ps/2 keyboard and usb mouse. Since I have a laptop w/only 1 ps/2 port i need to use the mouse as usb even though it has a converter to ps/2.
xorg.conf says: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "UsbMouse" Driver "mouse" #Driver "MouseMan" Option "Protocol" "Auto" #Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection when i log into X my mouse will only move UP/DOWN. interestingly enough, i have 4 buttons (one scroller/button and one thumb) and when pressed, the mouse moves different amounts to the right (thumb button moves it the farthest, left button moves it just a little, etc). any ideas? TIA noah |

the mistake is the number of buttons. Xorg does not understand that. An example : a scroll buttons means 3 buttons for Xorg: you can press it, can sroll up and can scroll down. When you say that you have 5 buttons Xorg will mess your setup. In your case, should be something like Code:
Options "Buttons" "6" regards slackie1000 |
well, i changed buttons to 6 but still no luck. same thing--mouse will only move up/down and button presses move it right...
i have tried protocol IMPS/2 and AUTO as well as driver mouse and mouseman xorg.conf: # LOGITECH MOUSE START Section "InputDevice" Identifier "UsbMouse" Driver "mouse" #Driver "MouseMan" #Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" #Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "6" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection # LOGITECH MOUSE END |
Try Knoppix or DSL, and look for the X config file to take a hint.

hi there again,
yeah, knoppix is always a good idea in such case but i would give another try. when you write Code:
Options "Buttons" "6" From the top of my head, i think it is a kind of rule the the last two are for the scroll. This option can always be changed with a little help of Code:
xmodmap Code:
man xmodmap Code:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 2 4 3 5 1 6" regards slackie1000 |
