Hi, I just reinstalled gentoo on my D610 and I've emerged and configured gnome, but I'm having a problem getting the mouse to work correctly. If I cat /dev/psaux /dev/input/mice, etc. all the device nodes seem to work correctly on the CLI, but when I launch gnome the mouse does not work. However, after emerging synaptics, and substituting "synaptics" in the driver section of xorg.conf, the touchpad works, but the stick doesn't, and it is very slow and insensitive. My xorg.conf, my mouse section is below. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks, Matt.

Code:

# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier   "Mouse1"
    Driver   "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"   # PS/2 Mouse
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"

# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.

#    Option "Resolution"   "1024"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

#    Option "BaudRate"   "9600"
#    Option "SampleRate"   "150"

# Mouse wheel mapping.  Default is to map vertical wheel to buttons 4 & 5,
# horizontal wheel to buttons 6 & 7.   Change if your mouse has more than
# 3 buttons and you need to map the wheel to different button ids to avoid
# conflicts.

    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5 6 7"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

#    Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

So I solved this by enabling 3 button emulation...I think. Everything seems to work now.
