Slack 102 test26.s loaded

ccoffee · 01-17-2006, 04:09 PM

Still trying to get into trouble.....
Loaded the Slackware 10.2 test26.s on the system (eMachine)
Athlon 2200 with 1GB ram..

Everything went great, detected SATA however when I
start X, no mouse. I have tried several xorgconfig
routines with Auto, PS2, MS, and no luck. I even disabled
the /gpm but that did not help.

Mouse is Logitech optical with a usb/ps2 adapter.

Have tried loading the system using USB and it still
will not work. (Does work fine under Win2K and
did work fine when I had Slack10.2 bare.i installed).

Any ideas on this one?

thanks
chuck

You installed SW10.2 with test26.s kernel? If so did you install 2.6.13 modules pkg from cd2?

This works for me.

Code:

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

Section "ServerLayout"
    Screen "Screen 1"
    InputDevice "Logitech USB"          "Corepointer"
    InputDevice "TrackPoint"            "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Synaptics Mouse"       "AlwaysCore"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1"             "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Cheers, Leon.

as root do a lsmod if you dont see much listed insert cd2 into the cdrom go to the 2.6.x kernel directory and install the modules that go along with the test26.s kernel.

the modules for test26.s are not automatically installed

Thanks all, will try that. Must be it because I loaded sata.i yesterday evening
and that worked fine with the same unit.

Well again tried the test26.s load and then cd2 and unarchived the 2.6.13 tar
files in the directory, but still no mouse. Will try a few more things this
evening (like Leon's above) and see if that does the trick.

What do you mean with "unarchived the 2.6.13 tar files"? You should install the modules:

Code:

# installpkg kernel-modules-2.6.13.tgz

But maybe that's what you did already.
Cheers, Leon.

Excuse the term "unarchived" - used installpkg as described in Slackware
Essentials - Mouse is now working.. work ok under gpm as PS2, but not
well under "X" or KDE. I have mouse in the XORG conf file now as
ImPS2 and is working great. Do not understand this, but may be due
to the system now seeing mouse as "Generic Wheel mouse" on isa0060/serio1.

Anyway now works great, thanks for all the help.

question for Leon, the code listing you provided, was that under
in your xorg.conf file?

Thanks again.

Good that you got it working!

Yes, those were the relevant parts as I have them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Cheers, Leon.
