Earny Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I installed 10.1 and the logitech cordless mouseman mouse worked fllawlessly, After installing firefox the wheel and the third button stopped working. After trying all sort of wheelmouses in mcc, I didn'tmanage to get it working again. in "etc/x11/x86config" I get this Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Seems ok Could my driver be out of order? By the way I looked already in other threads, but it did not bring me any further. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 It is not possible for Firefox to change your system mouse settings (I hope you are not running as root :) ) so stay away from the MCC and xorg.conf. What probably happened was that firefox grabbed the mouse focus and because of some bug couldn't release it. The solution would have been to restart X. Set evertything back as you found it and press ctrl-alt-backspace. That should fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 You'd better check out your /var/log/xorg0.log file for error messages that are related to your mouse. Usually it's a long textfile, and only a few lines are useful for resolving your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earny Posted May 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Maybe it has nothing to do with firefox. ctrl alt backspace didn't work my Xorg.0.log has the following last lines: II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver (**) Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2" (**) Mouse1: Device: "/dev/mouse" (**) Mouse1: Protocol: "MouseManPlusPS/2" (**) Option "CorePointer" (**) Mouse1: Core Pointer (**) Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" (==) Mouse1: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50 (**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" (**) Mouse1: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 (**) Mouse1: Buttons: 5 (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE) (II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded SetClientVersion: 0 8 Any idea?

devries Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Look for (EE) in the logs (that means errors) :) Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Earny Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 It's a bit different now I reinstalled 10.1 and choose for ps2 wheelmouse. This worked fine, also after several restarts After changing the mouse in mcc into usb three buttons + wheel it worked as it should. Until a restart. Affetr that the wheel stopped functioning again. Nothing I can do about it. oef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Try setting it to ps/2 again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earny Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 You believe I didn't try that already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I don't say this is the "best" solution, yet my small article may help: http://yves.gablin.club.fr/pc/linux.php?article=config/mouse Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earny Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 I did it manually and now it works after a restart of the x server Thanks By the way the xev command didn't work neither as root nor as user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
