 Posted: Sat May 29, 2004 8:29 pm Post subject: logitech usb WHEEL mouse not working [solved] |
 |
|
the problem:
it seems that there are a lot of people having the same problem. I have a logitech (usb, optical) wheel mouse (model M-BJ58) everything works just well, well almost everything. the WHEEL button does NOT work ie scrolling is not possible but clicking with the middle button is possible.
the XF86Config (mouse section):
| Code: | Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |
I already tried with PS/2, ExplorerPS/2. No chance
then I tried xev. here the results:
click eft button
| Code: | ButtonPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
root 0x44, subw 0x0, time 77645, (47,108), root:(71,270),
state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES |
click right button
| Code: | ButtonRelease event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
root 0x44, subw 0x0, time 78509, (47,108), root:(71,270),
state 0x400, button 3, same_screen YES |
click middle button
| Code: | ButtonRelease event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
root 0x44, subw 0x0, time 76573, (47,108), root:(71,270),
state 0x200, button 2, same_screen YES |
(apparently clicking works)
scroll middle button
NOTHING
here my kernel (2.6.6-r1) options:
usb:
| Code: | CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m |
mouse:
| Code: | CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y |
i have to mention that the same hardware works for debian and redhat.
so I am not really sure if it is a kernel oder X problem.
all suggestions are very welcome.

zbindere,
Do | Code: | | cat /dev/input/mice |
and scroll the wheel. Gibberish means that wheel events are getting out of the kernel.
You are missing an | Code: | | Option "Buttons" "N" |
statement, where N is the total number of buttons on your mouse. You have described 5 so far. If you have more, | Quote: | | Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" |
may well call up the wrong button numbers but whatever buttons 4 and 5 are, will perform the function of the wheel until you discover the right numbers.

included
| Code: | | Option "Buttons" "5" |
and
tried
| Code: | | cat /dev/input/mice |
no garbage when I scroll the wheel
not sure what the problem is... |

zbindere,
The no garbage means its your kernel. There are no wheel events in /dev/input/mice.
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=m looks wrong. Thats under | Quote: | | USB HID Boot Protocol drivers |
If you have a module called usbmouse loaded and in use (lsmod), thats the problem. You will not be able to unload it as its in use by the mouse. You could track it down in /lib/modules<uname -r>/.... and rename it so it can't be loaded then reboot. If that fixes it, redo the kernel.

seems not to be the problem.
output of lsmod:
| Code: |
Module Size Used by
sg 28960 0
snd_intel8x0 29188 3
snd_ac97_codec 60292 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm 81672 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_timer 20740 1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc 8964 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart 6272 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_rawmidi 17792 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd 40760 12 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi |
I slowly begin to think that it could be a bug in the 2.6 kernel... |

zbindere,
Two things, I dont get giberish on scroll either but my mouse works. When I get some 'text' in the cat window, one directions does nothing, the other backspaces over it.
This works for me:-
| Quote: | Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
# Allow Both PS/2 and USB mice to work for debugging
Option "SendCoreEvents"
# For the Logitech Mx700
Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 4"
Option "Buttons" "7"
EndSection |
/dev/input/mice is all the USB mice on the system. I doubt that its a kernel bug.

zbindere,
That module drives your USB root hubs on the motherboard for USB 1.1 if you have a VIA or Intel chip set.
Nothing that needs USB 1.1 will work without a root hub driver.
Do dmesg | grep ohci and dmesg | grep uhci. One of them should return nothing. (Hopefully you have uhci root hubs.)
also provides a useful tool for looking at your USB devices and drivers.

zbindere,
Thats correct. If you want to mix USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 remember that each root hub can only support one standard at a time.

Just to say that I had a similar problem with my Toshiba laptop and no longer being able to use the middle mouse button on it. After reading this thread I loaded ohci-hcd (different driver needed for my laptop) and the mouse started working! Before that it worked but the middle button did nothing.
Thanks for posting this thread and helping me to finally figure it out. I thought it was a bug in the 2.6 kernels or something, but it was just a little weirdness - the USB mouse worked, but not quite fully...
Thanks once again though - I have scroll and middle mouse button back again!  |
