 |
|
I just got a Logitech MX1000 mouse and I would like to be able to use it as a secondary mouse with my laptop (and the built in trackstick/touchpad as primary). I have tried several different configurations, but I've found that the MX1000 doesn't like to work with the evdev protocol unless it's that CorePointer in my X config.
Here's the critical sections of my X config:
| Code: | # **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
# I've also tried /dev/psaux and /dev/mice here, they both work
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
EndSection
#**********************************************************************
# Other input device sections
# this is optional and is required only if you
# are using extended input devices.
#**********************************************************************
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MX1000"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:1d.0-1/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "12"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "11 12"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection
#**********************************************************************
# ServerLayout sections.
#**********************************************************************
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Server Layout"
Screen "Screen0"
InputDevice "TouchPad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "MX1000"
# InputDevice "MX1000" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

When I set up the MX1000 as my core device, my touchpad does not work at all, but the inverse is not true. When my touchpad is set as the core device, the MX1000 will work, but none of the extra buttons or scroll wheel will function.
Also, when I disconnect my laptop from the USB receiver for the mouse, it will not work if I connect it later but only if I'm using evdev for the mouse protocol. I do have hotplug enabled. Someone mentioned success using coldplug but when I have hotplug enabled, it seems to kill my wireless (I'm using ndiswrapper). That's a question for a entirely new thread though.
Is there another option I need for the MX1000 in the server layout section to tell it to act as a secondary device?
Is what I'm trying to do even possible?
Thanks for any help, and happy holidays everyone. |

| Have you tried having just one Inputdevice, set to /dev/input/mice? I use that on my lappy (granted I don't use evdev) but it works fine. |
