 |
|
Hi there,
I've browsed through the internet now but did not find an answer to my question...
The problem is that if I use a bluetooth mouse or my USB mouse and disconnect it from the computer the next time the device is plugged in again it is not used any more.
In my xorg.conf I specified for every external mouse a section, so for example for my USB mouse:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USBMouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
As you can see the devices use special device names that are created by udev because I cannot hard-code the device name for a usb mouse: depending on what jack it is plugged in the name changes....
First: why do I want to do this? Because I want to be able to specify different parameters (Options) for my mice
The "solution" I found is to specify "dev/input/mice" as the Device... Well, this might by but in my understanding /dev/input/mice simply collects all mouse-X inputs... So modifications (Options) I make then will affect _all_ mouse devices and not only the currently mentioned (right? )
Especially my bluetooth mouse is rather high so that I want to change the "Resolution" for this device (but it did not work so far - independent on what device I used.... Anyone any solution? )
I can change the "speed" of the mouse by first using | Code: | | xsetpointer BluetoothMouse |
and then using xset to change the acceleration... But this seems as a rather cumbersome hack to me  Anybody a solution?
Best,
R.

Create a udev rule that symbolically links to the new device point. Here's mine for my mp3 player:
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
KERNEL=="sd?1", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Sansa e260", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="sansae260"
Or you could refer to the mouse by name instead of device within xorg.conf
Here's my relevant portion of xorg.conf for my usb mouse:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Option "Name" "Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse* 1.0A"
Driver "evdev" |
Just use whatever you see under Manufacturer= and Product= in /proc/bus/usb/devices
e.g.
| Code: | T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=045e ProdID=008c Rev= 0.57
S: Manufacturer=Microsoft
S: Product=Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse<AE> 1.0A
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr= 50mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=01 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=10ms |

Maybe I've screwed my bluetooth configuration up? Or do the logitech v270 mice have some issues?

The only way I'd imagine the bluetooth mouse showing up in /proc/bus/usb/devices is if you plug in a bluetooth usb dongle. But at that, I would think the only device to register would be the dongle and not whatever devices communicate with the dongle. I would try taking a look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_mobile_phone,_Bluetooth_and_GNOME and figure out what you can apply to your situation in terms of udev rules. Sorry, but I have no experience with bluetooth devices; maybe somebody else can help you with that. |
