Hi,
I've just installed gentoo 2004.2 on a compaq evo n1020v. Everything seems ok, including touchpad, but I cannot get the mouse working. Actually it seems that mouse is not detected at all
>>>cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0
H: Handlers=kbd
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=4 2000000 3802078 f840d001 f2ffffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=7
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=0000
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
H: Handlers=mouse0 ts0
B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 7000f 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003
I've read around but it seems that in general users have problems with touchpad but not with mouse. The strange (of course to me) thing is that in the environmente created by the LIVEcd the mouse works (I've tryied to copy the config of the LIVEcd with no success).
Any suggestions about what I should check?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply,
it is a ps/2 mouse. Actually I realized yesterday that I could use an usb one, this morning I bought one installed it and averything works. Of course I'm still puzzled about why the ps/2 doesn't work ...

Ok. Maybe, when the touchpad is activated the mouse support on the auxilliary device is disabled. I've recon'd sth. like that at work. Try to disable the touchpad in BIOS and maybe then your mouse will work.

Actually the BIOS doesn't seem to allow me to do that. Is it always the case that you can disable touchpad from it?
thanks

First check if you have PS/2 mouse support in your kernel:
| Code: | CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
|
Then try to enable your ps/2 mouse instead of the touchpad in your xorg.conf (use something like the following):
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ChordMiddle"
EndSection
|
If you can use your mouse try to combine the two configurations by enabling your touchpad and adding the following options to your xorg.conf
ServerLayout section:
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
