I have a laptop and I just installed Slackware 10 on it . But you know the mouse on laptop is not so easy to use , so I have to buy a USB mouse for my Laptop .

My problem is when I connect USB mouse to my running laptop , it does not work ( althought the lam on the mouse was light up ) . I want my coputer recognize any USB device as in windows XP , can I do it ?

Other question is I've install a deamon ( samba ) , but I dit not let it start when I boot my laptop . So now I think that it is nessesary but how can I make it startup with my computer too ?


Thank you for reading my problem

su

mouseconfig

<select>

usb <usb connected mouse>


Worked for me.

I run on Slackware 10 , should I make the rc.hotplug start at booting my laptop ?

Probably a good idea.

But scroll button of the USB mouse did not work . How should I do ?

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf


under the Section "InputDevice"
for the mouse add a line

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I did it with my old PS/2 mouse , it work . But with the USB mouse , it does not

Any sugest more ?

That's all about my configuration . Any help ? ? ?

No that pretty much covers what i used.


ps
There is this thread on the Slackware board that might help.

One more thing. Try changing

Option "Protocol" "Auto"

to

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
