 |
|
| Well, I compiled my kernel and was installing Xorg. I got to configuring my mouse since it did not work. Problem is, /proc/bus/devices/.... only lists my keyboard! I swear, I built in mouse support of every variety into the kernel (gentoo-2.6.7-r11). So, I tried the kernel, 2.6.7 (not any gentoo tweaks) and built in support for every mouse device. No luck, the kernel will not recognize my mouse. Yet, I'll toss in knoppix 3.6 and it works. This is a touchpad and USB mouse on a HP zv5000. |

ok, so it sounds like you've got the trackpad and the external usb mouse
for the trackpad, it's a synaptics trackpad. do
emerge synaptics
and modify the mouse section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something similar to this
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
|
then for your usb mouse, look for HID support in the USB drivers section, which could also help.
I know I have my own trackpad working (HP pavilion ze4400, but it's the same trackpad on all HP/Compaq notebooks). And I also have a 7 button USB trackball working with all features.
So, good luck.

My ignorance of portage is painful...
There are several versions of synaptics, so I chose the most up-to-date
emerge synaptics-0.13.3
calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in x11-misc/synaptics-0.13.3 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires and operator (x11-misc/synaptics-0.13.3) (try adding an '=')"
Help the drowning n00b!
Goeland86, you're the shiz if this works =) All this time I thought it was my kernel... once I get all this stuff up and running I'm writing a legenthy blog on each problematic aspect and cool tweaks to the HP Pavillion zv5000. Lol I'm proud of my simple shell scripts to change my CPU frequency on the fly.... next projects are ndiswrapper and the hard buttons.... |

a shell script for cpu freq change???
Use speedfreq! that's what the daemon's there for. saves time and ressources, and allows dynamic throttling.
emerge speedfreq
rc-update add speedfreq boot
done
