Mouse Wheel and AltGR key not working after Dropline install
 
Hi Guys,
i have just started off with Linux!
I updated my old Slackware 9 Kernel to 2.6.5 and run it on a P4 with 1800 MhZ and 256 MB of Ram!
I instaled Dropline Gnome yesterday to get access to Ximian Evoltuion, i just clicked Full Install, and let the wizard do the rest!
After rebootong, hell was unleashed upon my X Server!
In KDE, the ALTGR Key of my german PS/2 Keyboard isnt working anymore! However, it still works in the shell!
Xev prints out:
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
root 0x60, subw 0x0, time 1377130, (353,49), root:(357,841),
state 0x0, keycode 113 (keysym 0xffea, Alt_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
root 0x60, subw 0x0, time 1377225, (353,49), root:(357,841),
state 0x8, keycode 113 (keysym 0xffea, Alt_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

The Scroll Wheel of my Microsoft PS/2 Mouse doesnt work either.
Xev prints out nothing!

I googled the subject but didnt find much info that I could understand!
Thanks in advance for help

dropline-gnome 2.6 uses
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
instead of
/etc/X11/XF86Config

When I upgraded my DLG to 2.6,
DLG automatically copy your current /etc/X11/XF86Config to xorg.conf
maybe you should have a look inside xorg.conf

BTW, I use KDE as Desktop,
I installed Dropline only to get Ximian...

zmieff 05-08-2004 12:09 PM

can you post your xorg.conf/XF86Config file, it could be that you use the false keyboard layout.

did the scroll wheel work before you did the upgrade??

PS: grüße nach wien!!:D :D

Here is the XF86Config..
KDE however shows a few more, like XFconfig.svga,.... Is maybe one of them in use??

Well, the first thing I see is that
Quote:

Option "XkbLayout" "de"
#
# or:
#
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
are uncommented in the first file, but commented in the second. So uncommenting them in the file that is actually in use (which I imagine is the second file posted), should hopefully solve the keyboard problem. The reason why it works in the shell, but not in KDE is because the keyboard layout is set correctly in the system as a whole, but not in X, apparently, so when X starts (when you start KDE or any other GUI), the keyboard layout goes south.

As for the mouse, you can easily see that the settings are completely different (and the second set is for a two-button mouse, not a mouse with a wheel).

Here's the set for a wheel mouse under 2.4 series kernels

Quote:

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" (this indicates a wheel mouse)
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" (this option activates the wheel)
And here's your settings for the mouse under the 2.6 series:

Quote:

dentifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"

# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:

# Option "Protocol" "Auto"

# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
# Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
# Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
# MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
# ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
Option "Protocol" "PS/2" (this indicates a two-button mouse without a wheel)

# The mouse device. The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
# Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"

# 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
and you can see in the rest of the section that there is no ZAxis option to enable a wheel in any case.

My mouse configuration under the 2.6 kernel looks like this:


Quote:

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
and my mouse wheel works fine. So you should probalby change your Protocol setting to ImPS/2 and add the ZAxisMapping option in order to get your mousewheel working.

Good luck.

OK, first problem I see here is 2 mice, and one of them has conflicting settings, and the keyboard may be wrong as well

Sorry in advance for the length, but I'm reposting the relevant section:
Code:

# **********************************************************************
# Core keyboard's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"
Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift"
# For most OSs the protocol can be omitted (it defaults to "Standard").
# When using XQUEUE (only for SVR3 and SVR4, but not Solaris),
# uncomment the following line.

# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"

# Set the keyboard auto repeat parameters. Not all platforms implement
# this.

# Option "AutoRepeat" "500 5"

# Specifiy which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1)).

# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

# Option "XkbDisable"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a European
# keyboard, you will probably want to use one of:
#
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
#
# If you have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# If you have a US "windows" keyboard you will want:
#
# Option "XkbModel" "pc104"

#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
#
# or:
#
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"


# These are the default XKB settings for XFree86
#
# Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc101"

# Option "XkbLayout" "us"
# Option "XkbVariant" ""
# Option "XkbOptions" ""

# Option "Protocol" "Auto"

# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
# Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
# Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
# MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
# ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue

# The mouse device. The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

# Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"

# 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"

(snipping additional mice and irrelevant sections)

# **********************************************************************
# ServerLayout sections.
# **********************************************************************

# Any number of ServerLayout sections may be present. Each describes
# the way multiple screens are organised. A specific ServerLayout
# section may be specified from the X server command line with the
# "-layout" option. In the absence of this, the first section is used.
# When now ServerLayout section is present, the first Screen section
# is used alone.

[b]Section "ServerLayout"

# The Identifier line must be present
Identifier "Simple Layout"

# Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally
# the relative position of other screens. The four names after
# primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right
# of the primary screen. In this example, screen 2 is located to the
# right of screen 1.

Screen "Screen 1"

# Each InputDevice line specifies an InputDevice section name and
# optionally some options to specify the way the device is to be
# used. Those options include "CorePointer", "CoreKeyboard" and
# "SendCoreEvents".

InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"

Section "InputDevice"

Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"

OK. So what is highlighted is:
  • No keyboard type uncommented, so the keyboard is defaulting to 101 keys, which may not include the AltGr key. You might want to uncomment the pc105 or pc104 options, depending on your keyboard.
  • There are two Option "Protocol" settings on your configured mouse. There should not be. Either change the first one (/dev/psaux) to /dev/mouse and comment the second /dev/mouse out, or just comment the second option out and leave the first as /dev/psaux. Check your mouse settings in the /dev/ folder first to see which actually exists.
  • There are two Input Device sections after the end of the file (since the Server Layout is pretty much the end of the file, being the culmination of all that has gone before). Don't know where they came from but they're not consistent with the settings you want (the second mouse config is for a two button mouse, and the keyboard is again using limited options). These settings should not be in use, since they are not listed in the server layout, but still, they may be borking up the file in some other way. So I'd suggest getting rid of them, or conforming the settings that are configured with the settings listed at the bottom if you want to use them, then getting rid of the extra data.
Hope this helps.
