 Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 5:31 am Post subject: *SOLVED* No mouse in X |
 |
|
I can't get my mouse working in X. I have tried using the config file generated by X -configure and have tried changing around the InputDevices sections according to the umpteen forum posts I have read. Udev and DBUS are both up and running. I have tried emerging xorg-server with and without hal (which is deprecated thank god) and with and without the "minimal" use flag. The mouse I am using is a logitech USB wireless mouse and works fine in windows and Ubuntu. I'm not really sure where to go from here because I have searched high and low and reinstalled from the stage3 several times already to be able to start from a clean slate. This is driving me crazy because I know it has to be something simple that I'm missing.

Noper... still no mouse. For what it's worth x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse was not even installed until you had me emerge it.

Check if udev is loaded on startup (rc-config list), udev sysinit
check the kernel config,
change
Driver "mouse" (for keyboard also)
to
Driver "evdev" |

Xorg.0.log after changing kbd and mouse drivers to evdev
http://pastebin.com/Cn69TJnv
Udev is set to start at boot time and kernel is set up according to the Gentoo X configuration guide for ATI cards. I'm not sure what you meant about the "udev sysinit" part.
Changed kbd and mouse drivers to evdev. Same result.
I used a kernel seed from kernel-seeds.org as a starting point for my kernel config and then added support for my hardware and input devices. If that could be an issue I can recompile a generic kernel or use genkernel if that will help with troubleshooting.

Try running it with no xorg.conf file at all. On my systems, I only have a device section for my nvidia video cards because I want to use the proprietary Nvidia driver. The X server should be clever enough to configure itself on your system.

| Have you tried plugging in a standard wired mouse to see if that works? |

I think you kernel config is wrong then, check the instructions on this page for kernel config as regards mouse:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
Device Drivers --->
Input device support --->
<*> Event interface
Also, don't forget the HID and USB settings. I think there are docs about those settings somewhere as well. Be patient, after you configure the kernel a couple of times, it will all be a piece of cake later on.
Also, paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log someplace? |

I tried a PS/2 mouse and sure enough it worked fine so I started digging through all of the USB options and realized that I included EHCI for USB 2.0 support and left out OHCI for USB 1.1 support.  I guess I assumed that the 2.0 standard would cover both. I recompiled the kernel with OHCI and sure enough it works now!
lspci -v (as suggested by the help screens in the kernel menuconfig) is what tipped me off.
The important part is the end of the first line for each entry
| Code: |
00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a2) (prog-if 10 [OHCI])

The option in the kernel is at
Device Drivers --->
[ * ] USB Support --->
< * > OHCI HCD Support
PS @ Doctork I didn't realize the xorg.conf wasn't necessary. Tried it without an xorg.conf out of curiosity and everything works fine. Definitely good to know because that will save me a ton of headaches in the future knowing that I can skip that file as part of my troubleshooting on simple setups.
THANKS EVERYONE!

No xorg.conf works well on simple systems. It probably has problems with multiheaded systems or some speacial graphics needs. X manages to find all the pointer devices on my Lenovo laptop (touchpad with five buttons, trackpoint, external usb mouse).
