Okay my USB mouse works fine. no problems there. So I want my trackball also to work b/c I missed it. So I opened my XF86Config file, and add a section for my trackball. I restart X, and it works. Well, kinda...


When I move it, there's a HUUUUGE delay on it. It's like, I move it, and it barely moves for almost a second, then moves where I moved it. It's really weird, I've never seen anything like it. I don't have any weird options in the section like baudrate or anything like that. Just the normal stuff.

So what did I do wrong? The protocol is PS/2. I tried IMPS/2, but it didn't work at all then. This is a logitech trackball (2nd generation PS/2, not 3rd).

This runs my Trackman Marble+. You can ditch the ZAxisMapping if you don't have a wheel and tweak the Resolution to your liking:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/misc/psaux"
    Option      "Resolution"    "800"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection
