Scroll mouse and Screen resolution

rangalo · 10-19-2005, 03:09 AM

Hi all,

I have a brand new HP Compaq cd 7600 sff pc. with

logitech USB Optical Scroll mouse (physically I see 3 buttons including the scroll wheel) my xorg.conf is as following (omitting the comments)

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option "Protocal"    "ImPS/2"
    Option "Buttons"        "5"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"

    Option "Emulate3Buttons"    "Yes"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"

EndSection

the mouse itself is working but the scroll wheel does not scroll ...

can anybody help with this..

second ... I have a DELL TFT monitor which on another windows machine supports upto 1152x864 resolution, but on this new machine which obviously has more powerful graphics card, shows only resolution upto 1024x768.... the monitor section in the xorg.conf is as following..

Code:

Section "Monitor"

    Identifier  "My Monitor"

# HorizSync is in kHz unless units are specified.
# HorizSync may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a
# comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.  REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
# USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.

    HorizSync   31.5 - 50.0

#    HorizSync  30-64         # multisync
#    HorizSync  31.5, 35.2    # multiple fixed sync frequencies
#    HorizSync  15-25, 30-50  # multiple ranges of sync frequencies

# VertRefresh is in Hz unless units are specified.
# VertRefresh may be a comma separated list of discrete values, or a
# comma separated list of ranges of values.
# NOTE: THE VALUES HERE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.  REFER TO YOUR MONITOR'S
# USER MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT NUMBERS.

    VertRefresh 40-90

EndSection

can anybody help me with this too ?

thanks in advance..

try this dude

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

on the monitor section, what graphics card is it? did you compile the kernel yourself?

duuuude, the kerneeeeeeeeel....

try making a xorgconf.
its not the display section you have to look but to the Screen section and the resolution modes that are there...

to you mouse, you have to check with the command xev and check what buttons are you scroll wheel... try it and change what show in xev to your ZAxisMapping option

Hi,

thanks for your help, but I did not have any success... in any of these tries the output of my xev command is as following

there is nothing like ZAxisMapping and no event is generated when I scroll witht the wheel.

and sorry for pasting the Monitor configurations... instead of screen... the graphic driver selected in VESA Framebuffer and the screen section goes like this:

Code:

 may be specified from the X server command line with the "-screen"
# option.
Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "VESA Framebuffer"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"

# If your card can handle it, a higher default color depth (like 24 or 32)
# is highly recommended.

#   DefaultDepth 8
#   DefaultDepth 16
   DefaultDepth 24
#   DefaultDepth 32

# "1024x768" is also a conservative usable default resolution.  If you
# have a better monitor, feel free to try resolutions such as
# "1152x864", "1280x1024", "1600x1200", and "1800x1400" (or whatever your
# card/monitor can produce)

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       32
        Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection

EndSection

"1152x864" is added by me according to some search results..

and about the Kernel...

since, I have a SATA harddrive, I am using sata.i kernel image which is from the slackware cd 1

rangalo · 10-19-2005, 06:32 AM

Hallo guys,

I am really sorry to bother you about the mouse prob. it was just a spelling mistake.. i wrote

protocal instead of protocol , now it is working well.

Now I want to use the full resolution

maginotjr · 10-19-2005, 07:55 AM

use the right driver for you video borad not a generic vesa... and you need to put the Driver "somedrive" option in the screen section (you may start trying with the Driver "vesa" to see if everything goes fine and them you can try the driver for you video card, like ati o nvida, the both have drivers to linux in their website)...

salviadud · 10-19-2005, 11:58 AM

id recompile the kernel...

thats what linux is about anyway

rangalo · 10-20-2005, 03:43 AM

hi guys,

thanks for your help..

some how it is workignnow but it is able to shwo 1280x1024 but not 1152x864 and the funny thing is I just changed the

Identifier to "i810 845G" instead of "VESA Framebuffer" and the driver is still vesa..

i dont know how this is working but anyway it is working...

thanks once again.

Hardik
