 Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2006 10:20 am Post subject: USB Mouse problem |
 |
|
I'm unable to make USB mouses to work in my laptop.
I have a synaptics touchpad that works ok.
I have an USB keyboard that works ok.
I have a Dell USB mouse at work and a Logitech USB Mouse at home, none of them work at all. The pointer stays still while I move them or press buttons.
Both get detected when I plug them:

If I do
| Code: | | cat /dev/input/mice |
I get garbage on screen if I move the mouse.
I think the relevant part of Xorg.conf is well configured
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "aticonfig Screen 0" 0 0
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "USB Optical Mouse" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
(...)
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Optical Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
I've changed Option "Protocol" to imps2, logitech,... but always had the same effect, none.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? |

manuelbiliar,
Welcome to gentoo.
Lets check if its your kernel or Xorg that having problems.
In a console (or xterm) do | Code: | | cat /dev/input/mice |
and mave the mouse and operate its buttons.
You should see jibberish in the terminal. Press Ctrl-C when you have had enough.
If your terminal is a mess - type reset.
If that worked - you kernel is OK and the problem is with Xorg.
If you you didn't get anything, your kernel is mising an option or two.
Post back and we'll take it from there.

As I tried to say in my first post (my english is not that good  ), I see gibberish when I operate my mouse. |

manuelbiliar,
It was my reading at fault, not your English.
Your kernel is good - so its your Xorg.conf and as you say, your xorg.conf looks good.
Some things to try. Comment out | Code: | | InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer" |
and check that xorg will use the USB mouse.
Runand check that xorg sees the mouse events.
Look in /dev/input before and after connecting the mouse.
Is it added as /dev/input/mouseX or some more event nodes ?

And this was the trick! Now both, touchpad and mouse works 
Thank you very much, Neddy. |
