 |
|
So I've got fluxbox emerged and everything, so when I load "startx", fluxbox starts up. However my mouse doesnt work...
Mouse is a Logitech MX700 (USB)
Here's the XF86Config mouse configuration:
| Code: |
Identifer "Mouse 1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Resolution" "256"
Option "SampleRate" "800"
|
I've done a bit of searching...
--> Changing the device to "/dev/input/mice" or "/dev/input/mouse" didn't do anything...
--> USB works since my USB keyboard works fine outside X
I'm kinda lost as to how to troubleshoot this... can anyone direct me to some place? TIA... |

Hello..
Try this, and then move the mouse. If something happens it's your X config. Please let us know if something happens :)
| Code: | | # cat /dev/input/mice |

Just prints alot of chars on the screen when you're moving the mouse, so you can see if the mouse works. When youre done, close it with CTRL+C

Well I tried
| Code: |
# cat /dev/input/mice
# cat /dev/mouse
|
and nothing happened. I'm guessing then it has something to with my kernel? If so, what can I do to fix it? |

I just did
| Code: |
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
|
and the first entry was for my PC speaker.
The second two are what concern me:
For the second entry:
| Quote: |
N: Name="Logitech Logitech USB Keyboard"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1f.2-1/input0
H: Handlers=kbd
...
|
And for the other entry:
| Quote: |
N: Name="Logitech Logitech USB Keyboard"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1f.2-1/input1
H: Handlers=kbd mouse0
...
|
So the two input devices are apparently recognized as keyboards, but their physical address is different so I'm guessing this might be where the problem is... also the Handler for the second entry is different as well...
Anyone? |

Problem is fixed, somehow, I don't really know how though.
All I know is that I recompiled the kernel, with built-in OHCI, and afaik that's all I really did...
Now cat /dev/input/mice gives me a lot of gibberish when I move the mouse, and the mouse works under X...
So yeah... woo! |
