Mouse pointer moves vertically too fast, horizontal moovement is ok. The problem occures in terimnal and in X. The Inputdevice part of my xorg.conf looks like this
I've changed protocool to auto and than to imps/2. All I get was liitle vertical and (unfortunately) horizontal slow down. What should I do to make the mouse work correctly?
One thing more, this mouse was working properly on te same computer under ubuntu 5.04.

If you go to a console and type:

man xset

It gives some options. For the mouse I think you use:

xset m default

Xset being the command, m being the mouse, and default being the default speed. There are other variables you can use, but you would have to read the man page.

If that still does nothing, it might just be too much sugar. You know how they get with that sugar.

xset m 1 1
It is still too fast verticall and too slow horizontal

Did it not change at all?

EDIT: Is it a scroll mouse?

Very Fast : xset m 7 10
Normal : xset m 3 10
System Default : xset m default

or here is my xorg.conf:

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

It is a wireless scroll mouse though.

Sure it isn't too much sugar?

Yes this is scroll mouse. I've changed the protocool to imps/2 and the efect is bad. After reboot i could see the screen with login: etc, but I could not login. The keyboard is not working. Next reboot there is something about fixing something on disk and after this reboot. After this I can not login etc.

I think when I changed my xorg.conf to make my mouse work, I had to reboot for some other reason. Someone corrected me earlier, that all you have to do is Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to exit X. Then restart with startx. Sorry about that. Seems you only need to restart X.

Your original xorg.conf read:

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

Sorry I should have been more specific. I just posted mine for reference. I was waiting for you to tell me if you had a scroll mouse or not. You should only have to add one line to it so it reads:

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I don't think you would have to change anything else. I think you would have to get a little careless in xorg.conf for it to not boot now.

When you saved xorg.conf, it should have made a backup. It would be named xorg.conf~ or maybe xorg.conf.bak. Try renaming your xorg.conf to something else, and then rename your backup xorg file to xorg.conf.

If you have to, try running xorgconfig from the console. Maybe that would be easier for you.

I've added ZAxis MApping to xorg.conf, no changes

The only change I've ever made to my xorg.conf file, was to add the line:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

and edit the line:

Option "Protocol" "PS/2"

to read:

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

I had to add the first line, to make the scroll button work. I have a Logitech Wireless Mouse. Perhaps you need to research your specific mouse.

empty post

I've added things from here but it does not make any change.

edit:
only after fiveth post I could add link

Here are a couple of links. I don't think I can supply much more help, beyond what I already have. Try doing a search here in the forums or google.

I don't know much more than what I've already told you. Sorry, it's just what I did, and it worked for me.

The mouse mentioned in the article you posted (newsforge) said it was USB. Is your mouse USB? I have heard of some USB devices not working, or not working properly, under the 2.4 kernel.

When I installed Slackware, I used the 2.6 test kernel on the CD. Maybe that is why I never had any big problems with my mouse.

Something else to look into.

Yep, Ubuntu 5.04 uses the 2.6.10 kernel, that might be your problem.
