Hello,
I have a HP TFT5600 rackmount monitor. It it also has a keyboard and trackball mouse. The problem I have is that the trackball doesn't work, when I touch it the mouse jumps all over the screen. It has two mouse buttons, left and right, and they do work. Quite a few posts I've read which had similar problems also reported random mouse clicks that doesn't seem to be happening. The unit is attached to two computers via an Apex EL-80DT KVM. Only one computer runs X so it's hard to tell if the problem lies with that, neither computer runs Windows. I've searched this forum and google with no luck. I'm guessing that the problem is in the xorg.conf file, but I've tried lots of different options with not a lot of success. My current, relevant bit of xorg.conf is below.
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
I've tried various protocols "ps/2" "auto" "explorerPS/2" none of which helped. I've also tried Z, X and YAxisMappings with values of "4 5" again no luck. I even tried adding psmouse.proto=imps to grub like this:
| Code: |
kernel /boot/2.6.18-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/sda3 psmouse.proto=imps
|
it didn't help.
I'm grateful for any advice.
Thanks, Nick
