 Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2006 5:44 pm Post subject: Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 |
 |
|
Hi All,
I am trying to get my Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 work properly. Currently, the wheel button will be clicked by just moving the mouse (you can imagine how annoying this gets). I am thinking it is a configuration issue with X, since this occurs in every window manager I've tried (xfce4, fluxbox, e17).
Here is the mouse portion of my xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse 0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
|
If anyone has this mouse working properly, or has any idea what is going on, please let me know! I have had no luck finding this in google or in the forums here.
Thanks in advance! |

I use the same mouse with my touchpad-equipped notebook and a single section in xorg.conf seems to more-or-less do the trick for both devices:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
EndSection
|
Either the MS 6000 laser mouse or the synaptics touchpad can be used without detaching/deactivating the other, and no other configuration is needed. However, i'm not using the synaptics driver for the touchpad and I havent yet configured the little thumb button on the mouse to do anything other than what it does by default (mimic a right-click). I suppose if I wanted to config either any further, I would want to specify seperate InputDevice sections for each. However, they work fine for now. |

Thanks for the help, jrolandwright. But, that doesn't seem to have done anything. I made the changes to my xorg.conf, then restarted the X server.
I still am getting what seems to be the middle-mouse button being pressed whenever the mouse is moved.
I have tried using xmodmap to change the configuration of the mouse buttons, but that didn't work, either. |

I got this one working after a few hours on Xorg 7
First, I added a udev rule to create a input entry:
/etc/udev/rules.d/07-ms6000
| Code: |
KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Microsoft", SYSFS{idProduct}=="00e1",SYMLINK="input/ms6000", MODE="644"
|
My xorg mouse entry:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "MsMouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/ms6000"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection
|
Update your server layout to use MsMouse
This should give you a "working" mouse (wheel/buttons)
The hardest part is to get the tilt wheel working: you need to patch evdev driver since the current one (1.0.0.5) don't support it (ms mouse... it send a REL_DIAL event instead of a REL_HWHEEL...)
I copy /usr/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev to your overlay and create in sub files the following patch:
(filename: xf86-input-evdev-ms6000.patch)
| Code: |
--- src/evdev.c.ori 2006-02-26 00:57:59.000000000 +0100
+++ src/evdev.c 2006-02-26 00:58:21.000000000 +0100
@@ -155,6 +155,7 @@

break;
+ case REL_DIAL:
case REL_HWHEEL:
if (value > 0)
PostButtonClicks(pInfo, wheel_right_button, value);
|
and apply this patch to your overlay ebuild
| Code: |

After you plug your mouse, do you have a /dev/input entry that points to this mouse ?
(trick: in console, do a cat of each mouseX entry and move the mouse, if you got garbage only when you move it then you found the correct entry)
If yes, you have 2 way:
* create a udev entry to point to this mouse and add a specific section for this mouse and add it to your server layout
* if you use xorg 7.1, you can set a evdev entry using the udev name of the mouse |

Maybe i solved..
I just set STATIC this:
Device Drivers -->
USB Support --->
<*> OHCI HCD Support
and works for now.
Could be this the problem?
Bye. |
