 Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2004 1:13 pm Post subject: intellimouse usb scroll |
 |
|
Well, basically my scroll doesnt work.
I'm using an intellimouse optical usb
and did everything the most tutorials say about configuring the scroll en 4th and 5th mouse buttons. (the sidebuttons work now)
But When i use xev my scrol doesnt give any signal. (it does give a signal when i push it)
So i figure it's a driver problem ...
i use the ExplorerPS/2 protocol (should this be something else for usb?)
| Code: |
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMappig" "6 7"
|
and use the xmodmap to switch the scroll and side buttons (also used the imwheel tool)
| Code: |
xmodmap -e "pointer 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
|
I have the usbcore,usb_storage, hid , usbmouse, ohci_hcd, ehci_hcd and uchi_hcd modules loaded

I just want to know how i can get xev to detect if i scroll my mouse. It is useless to start configuring my mouse if the xserver doesnt even detect the signal. The mapping of the buttons etc, i can do myself as it is explained in many tutorials.
Thx, hope someone can help me |

Try using
| Code: | | Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" |

when using IMPS/2 still no response in xev from the scroll wheel.
The tutorials say you need ExplorerPS/2 for more than 3 buttons.

The tutorials are wrong. I use the IM/PS2 protocol with my Intellimouse, and it is the only way that I could get the scroll wheel working properly. I do not use an xmodmap, nor imwheel to do this:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USBMouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection |
However, it is true that you will not be able to use the side buttons with this method. Myself, I find that, if given the choice, I'd rather have the scroll wheel than the side buttons working.
The best solution would be for Xorg to support the evdev protocol, so that a USB mouse is recognized as an HID device, along with all its buttons, no matter how many there are. One single protocol for every USB mouse, and every button shows up by default in xev. Evdev can be patched into XFree86 or Xorg.
