fresh installation.....mouse and screen issues
 

hello all,
its not for the first time that i'm installing Slackware 10.0
made the same changes running #xorgconfig which i used to.
but this time its not detecting my mouse.
Better to say that although its detecting, and i can see the mouse pointer at the center of screen when i boot up...but as soon as i move the mouse (doesn't matter to which side i'm moving it )...its get shifted to right top of the screen and then not moving from there.
the issue with the screen is that its not full. Its leaving boundaries in all the sides.

my mouse : Logitech, serial, without ball.

i tried protocols as:: "auto" and "logi"
devices as ::
/dev/mouse ( default one ),
/dev/tty0,
/dev/tty1,
/dev/tty10.
but none working.

the horizontal sync is 30-54
the verticle sync is 50-120 ( i always keep these settings)
working on 16-bit display with modes
321 ( 800X600..and so on )


How to over come these problems ???

regards

happy to c someone from india to this forum
ithink it is the problem with mouse protocol
--partfrom xorg.conf--
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
-----
try an xorgsetup(it will automatically create an xorg.conf)

Hello rkrishna,
nice to see u too.

As i told that my mouse is "logitech" with 3 buttons so "IMPS/2" wont work as it is for Microsoft PS/2 mouse.
You were quite right that problem was somewhere with the protocol which i was assigning to the mouse.

Finally everything is working fine !!!
But it really engrossed me for the whole day.

for 3 button, serial logitech mouse i'm using the follow now:

Although my system is up now...but i really don't have answers for various questions...

1. I still don't know that why my keyboard was not working in the x-window.

Its "us" model with 104-105 keys.
So everytime i used to opt for 105 generic keyboard during #xorgconfig.
but now have assigned the follwing entries to it in order to make it work.

2. No idea about why the screen was not full..i.e why it was leaving black boundries in all four sides.
still have done the same during #xorgconfig ( i tried it many times ), but now its perfect.

These answers could be hard to explain, so its a request to the members that whatever possible reasons they could think of, please post them here.


regards

specifically slackers....
happy to c u installed slack:D
i was showing u an example of mouse part rudraa, evenif ur mouse is usb sometimes ps2 is the onlyone which works

#xorgsetup will automatically probe

ur system seems to be of specific kind not a usual one i think, so ur keyboard... (specific drivers may be there,(otherwise it wont show muxh problem) which model it is search its manual)

there will b problems with X when u start using slack, but try resolving it. then it will rock..
have u tried any other linux, where X was working fine
adjust the monitor menu, hope nothing to do with xorg


"as somebody was telling try using knoppix cd and copy the xorg.conf file"
finall i am not an expert.. so let others to say regards

so ur usnig 10.0 try 10.2 (bse it is out, but no gnome)

edit: even the knoppix xorg is generated from xorgsetup
