Inquiring the mouse type.
Hi: any way to make the system inquire what is the mouse type? My mouse is a two-button one with a wheel in the middle between the buttons and an optical scanner below. The connector is PS/2 type.
I tried gpm with Code:
gmp -m /dev/mouse -t ps2 Code:
gmp -m /dev/mouse -t ms3 |
Are you sure /dev/mouse is the actual location of that particular mouse? Try
ls -l /dev/input/by-id or ls -l /dev/input/by-path and see if the listing there tells you where the mouse is actually registered. |
I have no /dev/input/by-id. In /dev/input/by-path there are ...event-kbd and ...event-spkr but no mouse. But I have the /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0 files.
My distribution is Slackware 12.0. |
Try xinput and to know the options type man xinput.
Also check lspci -knn. Include the -v or -vv options to include the verbosity. Also check the messages about your mouse from dmesg. More generally about the PS/2 mice see this. Also, bear in mind that:
