synaptics Touchpad & USB mouse in slack 10
sometime ago i posted a thread regarding this & got the solution for making both of them work simultaneously but recently installed the new Slack 10 & as all know it comes with the new X.org. the above configuration is again not Working with my laptop. the touchpad works Fine but when i Plug in my USB mouse ,the Light glows but it doesn't function..
can some one Suggest me how to make it Work with the New X this worked for me earlier Fine: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "UsbMouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection then make an entry to the serverlayout InputDevice "UsbMouse" "AlwaysCore" am i missing something |
This works for me under slackware 10 :)
In my xorg config, I have for both devices: (Mouse1 is my touchpad) Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "usbmouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5" EndSection Then, under ServerLayout: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Simple Layout" Screen "Screen 1" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "usbmouse" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection |
I've Resolved the issue as well. The same old Freind Helped & recommended me to use the utility " X -configure" at run level 3 in Console. it made me an xorg.conf file at /root.
The new File had the Specifications of my Detected hardware --- perfectly matching the Configuration. & i added the same Lines into it -- The mouse worked after that. Just one Question. If i start X whithout the mouse Plugged in it is never Taken by my X again until i restart X with the mouse Plugged in. though once it is Working i can hotswap it any time & it works again . I used the "alwayscore". Can u tell me the Difference with "sendcoreevents". Will it resolve the Mouse issue if it is not Plugged in b4 starting X Thx anyways for anticipating |
Yes, using SendCoreEvents should allow you to startx without the mouse plugged in, and then have it function when you plug it in. SendCoreEvents basically means the device is a secondary pointer device, rather than *the* CorePointer.

no The SCENE remains the Same even if i use the "SendCoreEvents"..
Any other resolution ?? |
I can only suggest that you have something configured incorrectly, as it works fine here.
