 |
|
So when I boot the LiveCD, my mouse works just fine in console, and GPM isnt even running. Nothing reminscent is in lsmod, I don't know how to check which daemons are running, but gpm certainly is not, since when I run it, it doesn't say it's already running at some id. Whne I boot into my install with all USBHID compatibility I could possibly find compiled, not only is there no mouse, GPM doesnt work either. The closest I got it to work was
gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2
When I do that, a pointer appears, but does not move. HELP!
Just in case somebody decides to help, maybe this is of use as well.
It's a Logitech MX700 with keyboard. Keyboard works fine, mouse does not. Somebody advised I use GDM. I did, used just about every protocol I could think of (also hard since the list of protocols just SCROLLS TEH FUCK PAST MY EYES) and nothing is working. /dev/input/mouse0-2 can't even be opened.
Also, sorry if I'm being an arse, I am holding out desperately till 10 PM in an attempt to fix my sleep schedule. Thanks for any help.

| I don't comprehend - there's enough brains here to debug a kernel, but noone knows how to set up a bloody wireless mouse? I don't ask for much, jeezus. |

I have an MX500 and had some issues . . . i removed 'plug and play' from the kernel and that seemed to fix my not working/jerky mouse issues.

I have the MX700 as well, and when installed as a normal USB mouse (assuming all USB device drivers are install into the kernel) it should work without a hitch.
What happens when you:
| Code: | | cat /dev/input/mice > /dev/dsp |
and move the mouse? Does sound come out? |

Moved from Installing Gentoo.
Don't know if this will help, but I've got:
MOUSE=ps2
MOUSEDEV=/dev/mouse
in my /etc/conf.d/gpm
