USB Mouse - 2.6 - slow 'start up' period [SOLVED]

[Bungopolis]

I'm having a strange situation with my Logitech MX500 mouse on a 2.6 system with fluxbox. When fluxbox starts up, my mouse cursor doesn't work until I move the mouse, at which point there is about a 4 second period where nothing happens, and then it kicks into action. It's as if the mouse wasn't detected before I moved it, but this can't be the case.

Anybody having this problem?

Also, why does my scroll wheel not work? cat /dev/input/mouse0 does not show any of the extra buttons or scroll wheels, but I cant think of anything I could do differently when compiling the kernel. In my last install, which was a stage 3 auto-compiling 2.4 system, the mouse worked perfectly from scratch.

Any help is appreciated!

in your XF86.conf file do you have your mouse Options "protocal" as auto or as IMPS/2. If it is auto change it to IMPS/2 and it should load quicker. Good luck

Brilliant. That fixed it. In fact, with my last installation that is how I set it up. Guess I just forgot.

Mouse feels a lot nicer now, no lag before it works, and I also got scroll wheel to work by adding the ZAxisMapping seen below.

Here is my final /etc/X11/XF86Config:

That's great, I'm glad I could help. I had that problem the first time I installed gentoo, a lot of people probably just put auto since it is a lot easier than thinking about what it shold be.
