Guest richard_bown Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Hiya the ps2 mouse port on the mobo is fskd, just stoped working No probs it was a 3 button wheel usb mouse with an plug adaptor. Rebooted with the mouse pluged into the USB port, nothing ! droped into a console ran mousedrake, changed the setting from PS2 3buttom wheel mouse to USB 3 button wheel mouse. Back to X mouse working :D Next boot up and all subsequent boot ups, I have to run mosedrake in a console to reset the mouse to USB 3 button wheel mouse. PIA I suspect its the mouse setting in xorg.conf which the protocol line is PS2 mouse should be changed to USB mouse. Anyone know the exact syntax for the protocol line in the mouse section of xorg.conf for a USB 3 button wheel mouse Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Anyone know the exact syntax for the protocol line in the mouse section of xorg.conf fora USB 3 button wheel mouse Not really, unless you attach that best part of your xorg.conf here...

bvc Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 On a 3 button mouse with one wheel, I've always used Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" The wheel is 2..so you only have 5 'buttons'. I wonder how 6 7 could work, unless it has to do with the Explorer driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how 6 7 could work, unless it has to do with the Explorer driver? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the "6 7" parameter is for those mouse/trackball devices that have them in surplus. maybe the default assumption is if you are using a usb pointing device then you will have at least 5 buttons in your device plus the wheel. add 3 more if you have a clickable dual wheel device. :D ciao!

Guest richard_bown Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Thanks for the replies, the input section is exactly the same as suggested , I've tried altering the ZAixsMapping to 4 & 5. Even checked the usbmouse modules is loaded. But stiil every time I boot up I have to open a console run mousedrake to select either 3 button mouse with wheel or explorer, Even trien setting the prococol line to ExplorerUSB, that didn't work either. Running kernel-2.6.11-9.mm.6mdk and 2006B1 Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I guess it's one of the bug in the Beta 1 configuration. Better tell the developer that, so it could be fixed. I know for a fact that changing from USB to PS/2 doesn't pose any problem for me in my mandriva 2005 LE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 (edited) Is it an Explorer? If not change the protocol to IMPS/2..... and specify how many buttons you have Section "InputDevice" Identifier "mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection This is what I use for a logitech usb cordless 3 button 1 wheel Edited August 7, 2005 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest richard_bown Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Is it an Explorer? If not change the protocol to IMPS/2..... and specify how many buttons you have OK I tried it, rebooted and still no mouse. went back to mousedrake and changed it back to a usb mouse and , still nothing in X. Had to power down and wait a couple of minutes before any entry would work in X. This makes me suspect that in 2006 this is a bug as system settings should never be stored in RAM, This clearly is as the setting is volutile,, now getting a bit miffed Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
