 Posted: Sun Oct 31, 2004 3:50 pm Post subject: Microsoft inteli explorer mouse |
 |
|
OK I searched the forums trying to find out how to install my microsoft wireless desktop elite keyboard and wireless intelimouse explorer. The wireless receiver is not being plugged into the usb port but instead its being plugged into two ps/2 ports. My current XF86Config.eg file is
Section "InputDevice"
Identifer "mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
I am trying to get at least the scrolling to work for now.
Thanks for any help |

| Now I am thinking that the mouse is configured correctly. Are there different configuration's that are needed so the scrolling feature can used in firefox? |

Do you have more than one mice installed?
Try making that mouse the core device for X |

This is my conifg (Logitech MX 700 optical/wireless). However it is connected by USB.
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "LogitechMX700"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Receiver"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "8"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "7 8"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.
# Option "Resolution" "256"
EndSection
|
And my .Xmodmap
| Code: |
pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 4 5
|
I have 8 buttons working. However Firefox sees my 'scroll up' button (not the wheel) as 'scroll-up' + 'history back' - so I'm not using it. Wheel functions correctly. |

Have you tried pushing the button on the reciever and the one on the mouse at the same time ? This usually works for me in situations like these.

Well proper way, is to put it like this:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" # THIS LINE
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Resolution" "100"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
# ...
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
# ...
EndSection |
and after emerging the latest hotplug, hotplug is only hotplugging, so now you need additionally coldplug, like this:
| Code: | emerge coldplug
rc-update add coldplug default |
This way, your usb-mouse will be detected next time you reboot (and switch to the runtime level "default").
bye,
rm |

I have Microsoft Wireless Desktop Exlusive Edition (wireless keyboard with scroll and media keys + Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 (imho the same as nonwireless Intellimouse Explorer 4.0) ) connected via PS/2. I've solved mouse issues with this config
Mouse section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
| Code: | ....
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "9"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "8 9"
EndSection
... |
and then autostart this command (this is example for use as script in KDE 3.4)
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 4 5" |
saved in /home/USER/.kde3.4/Autostart/xmodmap
I hope it will help, I'm trying to solve multimedia and other special keys on keyboard ... (I already solved it but i've reinstalled gentoo and forget the solution  )
P.S: sorry for grammar or so .. english is not my born language |
