Just John Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Running from the live CD I want to set up my mouse and bind buttons and such if I can but when I run mcc I get this problem: I go to detect hardware and it finds my touchpad, my intellimouse, and a generic usb mouse (which is a mistake, I only have the microsoft mouse). However, when I click the configure button at the bottom nothing happens. Same for the touchpad I think. And if I just go over to the mouse section it pops up a window that's blank except for the text that says "configure mouse" or something. What gives, and how do I set up my mouse buttons?

adamw Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 the Mandriva mouse configuration tool doesn't do that. I'm not sure what tool can change mouse button settings, actually. What exactly did you want to set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just John Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) the Mandriva mouse configuration tool doesn't do that. I'm not sure what tool can change mouse button settings, actually. What exactly did you want to set? Well the main thing is that the side buttons don't even work, but I would like to be able to change button assignments as well. And regardless of whether I would be able to do that in mcc, shouldn't it at least start a configuration window when I click configure, and shouldn't it be showing more than just the unclickable text that says "configure mouse" when I go to the mouse section? It would be nice to know what's wrong there and how to fix it. Also, if you can't do it in mcc then how do you guys configure your buttons? Specifically, how do you 1. Get your extra buttons working, and 2. Change button assignments? Edited April 12, 2008 by Just John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I don't honestly know exactly what tool you're describing, it doesn't sound like anything in MCC that I know of. If I run MCC, go to Hardware, go to Browse and configure hardware, scroll down the list and click on the entry for my mouse, I get two buttons - 'set current driver options' and 'Run config tool' - and Run config tool runs drakmouse, which is what it ought to do. You can't change button assignments in the MCC, as I said. I don't know of a GUI way to do it at all, actually. For the side buttons, what are they supposed to do? Forward and back?

Just John Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Well I installed and now I can see the normal mcc options, but as you said there is no way to configure buttons there. Surely there must be a way to do it.... P.S. When I set the scroll speed now (this is in the kde tools I think) it has no effect. Changed it from 3 lines to 7 and it still scrolls at the same speed. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Are you able to change "pointer acceleration" or any other mouse parameter from the KDE Control Center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just John Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Are you able to change "pointer acceleration" or any other mouse parameter from the KDE Control Center? Yes. I can change accelleration. I think I can change everything except scroll speed. (Which I can change the setting of; it just doesn't take effect.)

daniewicz Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Just another thought. Try running the KDE Control Center as root, and then make your mouse configuration changes. kdesu kcontrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
