slack10.0, gnome, no mouse
I just installed Slack10.0. Ran xorgconfig, and have tried "Auto", "PS/2", and "Microsoft" for my mouse. It is a Logitech cordless ball mouse (older one, before the MX models came out). Anyway, when I startx, I have no mouse. I have tried hitting various key combinations to see if any menus will popup, but there is nothing (then again, I don't exactly know what keys to try)...
Any suggestions? PS: only reason I can post this now is because I booted from an Ubuntu Live CD (which was a bad burn, apparently, and gives me no panels! haha, what luck) |
Hope this helps,from gentoo docs,works for slackware;
Code:
Configuring your Mouse |
cat /dev/psaux revealed that my mouse was there instead of /dev/mouse, so I fixed my xorg.conf.
now if I could just get my scroll-wheel to work. here's what I've got in my conf: Code:
Section "InputDevice" Thanks for helping me get the mouse working :) |
Your welcome,you could try it like this
Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Before you do it search here and google may find how someone has got it to work,good luck |
yeah, after I posted here I looked around google and many sites said that if using a scroll-wheel you have to use IMPS/2 as the protocal. I changed it and it worked, then came back here to tell you and you suggested the same thing! :)
