bvc Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 I saw on another board, a logitech didn't work until the user took off the ps/2 adapter and plugged it into the usb, and chose usb/wheel in mousedrake. What mouse did you chose? What does the Pointer Section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 say? If you try the usb route, you might need to run mousedrake again and reboot, but you should not have to reboot. If in X, you'll need to restart X by doing Ctrl>Alt>Backspace. Lets us know :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Is it the mouse that does not work, or is it the wheel only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stumbles Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Hi, I used to have windows and my mousewheel used to work great.. although now that i have MD9 it doesn't work, any suggestions on setting it up? its a logitech intellieye mouse but its on my ps/2 port. Not sure but I have a Logitech wheel mouse and these are the defaults Madrake 9.0 used; Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "resolution" "1600" These work just fine for me. Now with other distros I haved used the following with the same mouse; Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "resolution" "1600" Note - the last option line is something added be me. It is a lot simpler thatn fiddling with other things to adjust mouse sensitivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Not sure also because you did not answer my question. Anyway, here's my configuration, along with explanations: http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.ph...p?p=15884#15884 Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsolitude Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 I am new to Linux, not a programmer but I have a technical background and I am persistent MOUSE PROBLEM: How do I undo this wrong mouse configuration when I can't navigate in the GUI now? I finally got a good install of mdk 10 CE to dual boot with WinXP. I had spent many hours for days on this without much sleep. I was getting CRC errors until I started messing with the hardware. It was either an improperly seated RAM module or a CDROM / CDRW cable/connection or configuration. Whatever. I booted into Gnome first and I had an invisible mouse curser. It took me awhile to find it because it was invisible. I went into the configuration window and was finally able to get the mouse selected and run the configuration thing. I tried the drivers for the PS2 wheel mice but they didn't work. I began trying others on the chance that one might work. The curser never appear. Finally I selected a mouse config that screwed everything up. The invisible cursor is stuck in the lower left hand corner of the desktop and the keyboard ONLY works within the small pop up window in that corner, which makes the keyboard useless. The more I tried to get back into the mouse config the worse it all got- I logged out of Gnome and into KDE and tried there. Same problem only it got worse. I can't even log out now without using the reset button, and when I reset I still have the same problem in Gnome and KDE. I need to UNDO whatever I did so I can plug in a mouse that works. Who could imagine that a mouse could be this much trouble- It is an older Hewlett Packard wheel mouse. I think it would be easier for me to just reinstall the OS with a new mouse. On the other hand, I would like to start learning somewhere, since I am new to this. If anyone want's to take the time to explain a 'how to fix', I will take it from there and try to fix it, learn some things in the process and pass on some assistance elsewhere. I am installing Linux because I want to learn some programming in an open source environment. Thank you nsolitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 try: ctrl-alt-F1 login as root do: telinit 3 drakXconf (not 100% sure try typing drak and hit the tab key, it will show the options) This should let you setup your mouse, iirc.. Another thing, on my website config page I have my xfconfig files for 10.0 and 9.2, you may want to compare those (you can even surf there on the command line: lynx www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr ) with your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

bvc Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 the command is; drakconf when at init 3/console. I'd try Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" IF you have;-2 buttons -thumbbutton -wheel I d/k what to put if no thumbbutton. Anyone? Is it the same? Editing the file? Eventually you'll want to learn vi probably, but for now to get things working you may find it easier to use nano. To install it do; urpmi nano and hopefully it's in your software sources. Other wise, there's the vi tutorial....ummm...what was that command? vi tutorial ? /me forgot :woops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
