Mdk 10.1 wheelmouse [solved]

[Earny]

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

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.

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.

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?

Thanks in advance

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.

Niente EE in the file

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.

Try setting it to ps/2 again?

[Earny]

You believe I didn't try that already?

I don't say this is the "best" solution, yet my small article may help:

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.
