Hey, mel82, thanks for the input. I think I may be getting closer to the problem. I changed my slackware mouseconfig settings back to the regular ol' PS/2 to get my touchpad working, to see if I could get the usbmouse added afterwards.
I looked at my rc.gpm file and it DOES have the line: /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2 So I checked out my lsmod. Even with the touchpad working under the PS/2 settings, there is no psmouse module loaded...and even more strange, even though the usbmouse is not configured, the usbmouse module is loaded (although it is listed as Used by: 0 (unused). And usbmouse is listed under both the input and usbcore modules. So I tried to load the psmouse module just to see what happened... modprobe: Can't locate module psmouse Maybe I'll redo the slack mouseconfig for my usbmouse and see if anything changes. Who knows. Anyone ideas? |
Ok. Your ps2 support is included in the kernel, the usb not, but you see it loaded, so that is not a problem.
Nothing out of the ordinary.. That's normal. check if "lsusb" show your usb mouse. It surely do. If it does not (but I don't think so) at least that gave us a way.. The strange thing is that you don't need any other setting to have them both working.. It sounds very strange to me.. I have the same gpm settings and they works.. And now.... (....drums...) Now the stupid question: have you tried to move both the devices BEFORE starting X? they will work as soon as your gpm is loaded, if they are well configurated .. Does your system load the gpm as startup? If not try to load gpm manually. /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2 post an "ls -l" of all the symlink and devices that you see under /dev that seems a mouse (psaux, mouse, etc..) |
OK. I've got some info for you.
Code:
bash-2.05b# ls -l /dev/mou*Also, from console, only the device configured with "mouseconfig" works under gpm. I can run mouseconfig, switch to usbmouse, and run rc.gpm restart and then BOOM the usbmouse is working. And then whichever device is active is the one that works in X. I'll try activating my usbmouse and see if the symlink for /dev/mouse changes. |
After running "mouseconfig" in a terminal window, setting the mouse to type usb, and then running rc.gpm restart, I have:
Code:
bash-2.05b# . /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm restart |
PROBLEM SOLVED!!
Thanks mel82. That advice on checking the symlinks solved the whole problem. I just decided to forget the gpm for the minute and look at my xorg.conf file again. Since whatever /dev/mouse was pointing to was the active mouse under gpm, I just changed the "Device" option in my mouse sections. My PS/2 (touchpad) now reads: "Device" "/dev/psaux" And my usb scroll mouse now reads: "Device" "/dev/input/mice" I then added the line "InputDevice" "mouse1" "AlwaysCore" to the Server section for my usb mouse (thanks to lupin) and that's all it took... Now I can mouse with both hands!!! heh. Thanks everybody. -Kris |
Rally oh! :D
