Logitech usb mouse not working
I have a new Pc and am desperate to get slackware working on it.
I am having a problem with the logitech usb cordless mouse. The mouse will only move vertically but not side to side and there is no response to clicks. The cordless keyboard is fine. The mouse works in XP and kubuntu Xorg.conf reads Section "InputDevice" # Identifier and driver Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" # Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse. # Option "Resolution" "256" # When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment # the following line. # Option "Protocol" "Xqueue" # Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In # almost every case these lines should be omitted. # Option "BaudRate" "9600" # Option "SampleRate" "150" # Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice # Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms) Option "Emulate3Buttons" # Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" # ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice # Option "ChordMiddle" EndSection Thanks |
did you compare the xorg.conf you have on slackware with the one from the working distro?? what kinda differences show-up??
|
try this is /etc/x11/xorg.conf
# Identifier and driver Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" works for me with logitech USB Wireless mouse.. cheers |
Thanks. I tried your suggestion but it still did not work.
Kubuntu works with Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection I wonder if the driver is the problem |
just a thought, do you have a laptop or desktop? I have a laptop and have it set to auto - it picks PS/2 however when it works..
If you have a laptop - try PS/2 also, what is the option you have selected 'emulate 3 buttons' |
If you have 2-button mouse, pressing them both lets you emulate like you have 3 ("emulate 3 buttons").

Check to see that you're using the correct device for your USB Mouse. Perhaps /dev/mouse isn't the exact device that the driver has registered itself to.
Normally it would be /dev/input/mouse0 in a USB situation. Unplug your mouse and plug it back in. The do a Code:
dmesg |
The solution was to comment out modprobe /sbin/hid in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
