 Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2003 6:55 pm Post subject: Targus Mini-Mouse 2 Button and Wheel, no wheel |
 |
|
I'm having problems setting up my Targus mini-mouse which has two buttons and a wheel
XF86Config:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
Instead of scrolling, moving the mouse wheel just makes the pointer jump vertically across the screen. |

Try taking out the "Buttons" "2" Option line. You might need to change the protocol to "ImPS/2".

I have the same mouse and I can't get the scroll wheel to work either. I read in the instructions for the mouse that if the mouse was used outside of windows that the scroll wheel wouldn't work. Maybe there is a different mouse protocol that should be used instead of PS/2.
There has to be a way to get this thing working... |

Here's a patch against 2.6.5 which makes the scroll wheel work. It won't be turned on automatically, you'll need to add "proto=targus" to the options of the "psmouse" module.
http://holviala.com/~kimmy/hacks/linux-targus-driver/linux-2.6.5-targus.diff
Works for me, YMMV.
I just sent the patch to the offical maintainer today, let's see if I can get it into the offical kernel. |

The patch works against 2.6.4 and 2.6.5 Linux kernels. Maybe others in 2.6 series, haven't tested.
Simple instructions for patching:
| Code: |
$ su -
# cd /usr/src/
# wget http://holviala.com/~kimmy/hacks/linux-targus-driver/linux-2.6.5-targus.diff
# cd linux-2.6.5
# cat ../linux-2.6.5-targus.diff | patch -p1
# make menuconfig
# make && make modules && make modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.5
|
Then we need to add the parameter; if you compiled PS/2 mouse support into the kernel (Y in menuconfig), add "psmouse.proto=targus" to your lilo/grub kernel boot parameters. If you compiled it into a module, add "psmouse proto=targus" into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.
Reboot and enjoy (or reload the module if you're into uptimes). |
