real DUMMY my MOuSE
my optical usb mouse is really dumb fellaz...
I tried all possible protocols, from imps2 to msc ZAxisMapping "4 5" not working for me... when I choose the imps2 protoc. mouse goes crazy.. only I am able to use it as PS2 prot. BUT it does not really work well... I cannot perform my clicks smoothly... I click several times to get a file open or close windows visit links... while dragging the windows the cursor doesnt really grab it as it should.... i am running slackware 9.1 with kde 3.1 btw... I also tried using gpm -R msc -m /dev/mouse -t imps2 in order to have it repeated for X since it could help and used the device as /dev/gpmdata, with protocol MouseSystems in my XF86Config file as it is stated in rc.gpm file... still no luck... So I can only get my mouse running to some point with only the ps2 protocol and now as Mousesystems with /dev/gpmdata my device is /dev/mouse actually.. would changin it to /dev/usb/mice or /dev/mice help?? if so how to do it? I have a laptop and my pointglide and touchpad is working perfectly with smooth clicks and everything... the poblem is with my optical usb mouse.. what can I do more to get my dumb mouse straight?? HELLLPP PLEASE :cry: |
Hi.
I'm using an MS Intellimouse Optical (over PS/2) My XF86Config looks like: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" EndSection that. You should use /dev/input/mice for a USB mouse (at least you do under redhat) - the rest should be the same. Dave |
how do i change from /dev/mouse to /dev/psaux or/dev/input/mice ???

Sorry, the line that says Option "Device" "<something>" is what you're looking for.
Change the <something> to /dev/psaux for a PS/2 mouse or /dev/input/mice for a USB one. If your mouse moves at all when plugged in as USB then the Option "Device" line is OK, if not you need to change the xxxxx to /dev/input/mouse. It's the Option "Protocol" "xxxxxx" that you need to worry about once you can get some movement. The available protocols are: Auto, Microsoft, MouseSystems, MMSeries, Logitech, MouseMan, MMHitTab, GlidePoint, IntelliMouse, ThinkingMouse, AceCad, PS/2, ImPS/2, ExplorerPS/2, ThinkingMousePS/2, MouseManPlusPS/2, GlidePointPS/2, NetMousePS/2, NetScrollPS/2, BusMouse, SysMouse, WSMouse, USB, Xqueue. It might be a case of trial and error, unless one of these looks like it might be for the make of your mouse. Dave |
