 Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 1:51 am Post subject: mouse not found(solved) |
 |
|
I have installed and since uninstalled both gentoo-2005 and 2006. My usb mouse will work in the gui of 2006 installer, but as soon as I reboot my mouse can not be found. I used the option of the live cd kernel, on which the mouse will work. I do do not know the error itself. I find the problem when I run Xorg -configure. An error says the mouse can not be found. I have added usb support in the kernel. To make things interesting, it also refuses to see my ps2 mouse. This problem only seems to happen on my desktop. I have installed on my old laptop of which is no longer in my posession, and had no issues. Any ideas would be appreciated, for I do not wish to spend 8 hours installing gentoo and compiling xorg only to find that there is no answer. My usb and ps2 mouse work on other distros.

Could you please post the relevant section of your kernel config...

.config file shows the following
Input device drivers
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y
not set
blah blah
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE_PS2=y
not set
blah blah
on usb
HID=y
HIDINPUT=y
unfortuantely I am unknowlegdeable in copying and pasting from the command line
Xorg.conf is as follows:
section "input device"
id "mouse0"
driver "mouse"
option "protocol" "auto"
option "device" "/dev/mouse" of which does not really exist in the /dev
I gave up on the usb mouse ... sticking with the ps2 mouse. I still have the same issue with the ps2 mouse. |

That did it. Made a link to /dev/inputs/mouse0.
Thank you. I knew it would be something small and overlooked on my part. |
