Mouse buttons , graphical login issues........AGAIN

Jeebizz · 06-18-2005, 05:49 PM

I really hate bringing this up again, I apologize, but I am still not having any luck with my mouse buttons under a different user level. If I leave the default settings alone, and have linux start up in a command prompt and then start KDE, all of my mouse buttons, side buttons and wheel works, because of the xinitrc file, but since I changed the user level to 4, I only get basic mouse function, and I tried to follow the steps in this link.. http://docs.kde.org/development/en/k...uickstart.html as in creating a symlink between .xession in ~ with xinitrc, I made the symlink, and tried restarting, and the results , nothing.... any ideas?

Can you post the .xinitrc file.

I dont use kdm or any graphical login but dont they run as root when booting in run level 4 and thus requiring the root .xinitrc, .xsession files?

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.4 91/08/22 11:41:34 rws Exp $

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $userresources

Im assuming thats the user .xinitrc / .xsession file. Have you tried copying those custom mouse settings to the global xinitrc / xsession files ?

/etc/X11/Xsession
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

Most of the time xinitrc is just a symlink to Xsession.

Oh, I will try that, I know that I have a global xinitrc in /etc/X11/xinit but no xsession in /etc/X11

ok, I made a sym link in /etc/xsession to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and restarted, and I have noticed that the scroll wheel SOMEWHAT works, and what I mean by that is, when I try to scroll through texts in a text editor or dir. listing in konqueror, I have to make sure that the mouse cursor is hovering over the side bar of the window , otherwise, nothing happens, also in mozilla, if I use the wheel, instead of scrolling, it goes back or forward through pages, if I roll the wheel up or down..

.......btw, xsession is just a blank file that calls xinitrc? Or should there be something in xsession? Anyways, this is what I have in xorg.conf for the mouse, and after that is xinitrc..

Code:

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
    Option "Buttons" "7"

Code:

#custom mouse buttom remap
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

# Start the window manager:
startkde

take a look at

/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession
and
/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xsession

(depending on which login manager you use)

note Xsession sources ~/.xprofile before running startkde or fluxbox or whichever wm -- that may be somewhere to try putting the xmodmap. I've never tried it...
