 Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2006 11:51 pm Post subject: Cant find PS/2 mouse |
 |
|
Hello folks, my Gentoo is almost complete and working =)
Now, this problems ended my sources of trouble solving sites and I am still with it =(
I have a notebook Compaq Presario 1200, and i have a touchpad built-in that works fine and i have a logitech PS/2 mouse plugged in. Now, in Windows the ps/2 and the touchpad both work and live in peace.
In Gentoo the ps/2 mouse just dont exist!
I tried to find it in every device (/dev) no use =(
The only hint i may give is the syslog-ng text

TchaTcha,
The mouse will appear on /dev/input/mice
do | Code: | | cat /dev/input/mice |
and move the rodent about. You should get jibberish in the xterm.
Press ctrl-c when you have seen enough.
If your trminal is in a mess, type reset and press return.
If that works, your kernel is in good shape and the problem is in xorg.conf

What do you have in /dev/input ??
It is probably either /dev/input/mouse0 or mouse1.

/dev/psaux there is the touchpad
/dev/input/mice there is the touchpad too!
/dev/input/mouse0 there is still the touchpad!!
My touchpad is taking over my /dev! =)
I looked every single device on /dev and subfolder =( moving the ps/2 mouse every try, no work =(
(obs. never do a cat tty0!!!!)
I tried modprobe psmouse, answer was:
FATAL: Module psmouse not found

TchaTcha,
Your kernel is missing the PS/2 mouse driver.
/dev/input/mice is the events from all pointing devides. The touchpad should be on /dev/input/eventX or some of its facilities will be lost.
This means you need the event interface in the kernel.
You should also have /dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/mouse1 for the touchpad and PS/2 mouse.
