 Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2003 9:33 pm Post subject: Mouse... |
 |
|
I have got a big problem under Linux: I cannot get my mouse to work 
First let me tell you what I know:
1. My mouse works under Win95 ( ), it worked (GPM and Xfree) under the SuSe Demonstration CD from Cebit 2000 (thats SuSe 6.2 if Im not mistaken, kernel 2.2), it did work under the installer of Mandrake 8 (X), but not after installation (nor GPM, nor X). Never got it working under Gentoo (GPM or freedesktop's Xserver).
2. It is a Logitech PS2 mouse, an M-S34
3. It is connected in the right port, next too my (also PS2) keyboard (a Cherry). If I switch the ports, my BIOS doesnt want to boot.
4. PS2-mouse support and IRQ 12 are enabled in the BIOS.
Now what happens? If I try to do 'cat /dev/mouse', nothing seems to happen. But when I try to do Ctrl-C, nothing happens either: my keyboard locks. Well, to be most precise: it doesnt locks, it slows down a lot. If I type some other keys while its not responding, and I kill the 'cat' process using ssh (cant do it otherwise: cant go to another terminal (Alt-Fx doesnt work!)), the keyboard unlocks once more, and everything I typed during the lock is displayed on my promt.
If I try to run gpm ('gpm -m /dev/mouse -t ps2') the same thing happens.
If I start the xserver, I cant do a thing: cant move the mouse, but cant do Ctrl-Alt-BS either. So I have to reset my pc manually (power off - on).
Before GRUB is started I get a nice BIOS screen telling me (next to a lot of other things) an input device is found (which means a mouse is found, 'caus it isnt found when I disconnect it).
Some extra data:
| Code: | acer dev # ls -l mouse psaux misc/psaux
crw-r----- 1 root root 10, 1 Jan 1 1970 misc/psaux
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Dec 9 00:55 mouse -> misc/psaux
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Dec 9 00:55 psaux -> misc/psaux |

In my .config:
| Code: | CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=800
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=600
# CONFIG_BUSMOUSE is not set
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y
# CONFIG_82C710_MOUSE is not set
# CONFIG_MK712_MOUSE is not set |
My kernel is linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r5, compiling gentoo-dev-2.6.0test11-r1 ATM (and tomorrow), with more mouse-things included in the kernel (not as modules)
Please help me out... Are there any kernel modules I certainly need? Do I need to add bootparameters? Is there any configuration I should change? Maybe BIOS-changes?
Thanks, Ikke |

Try the following:
Configure ONLY the follwing into the kernel (no modules):
Character devices-->Mice-->Mouse Support
Character devices-->Mice-->PS/2 mouse
For your /etc/conf.d/gpm:
| Code: | MOUSE=imps2
MOUSEDEV=/dev/psaux
|
For your /etc/X11/XF86Config:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Stopped the 'make bzImage'of my 2.6, changed kernel config (hope I did that right), and restarted all Makes. Hope this issue will be solved now... (Pray with me  )
Thanks!!! |
