 Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2008 12:45 pm Post subject: evdev & microsoft wireless mouse |
 |
|
Recently I bought a wireless mouse + keyboard set from Microsoft (Wireless Optical Desktop 3000).
Keyboard works perfectly, but not the mouse. Currently it's handled in the X by mouse driver with the following configuration:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
#EndSection

The problem with the mouse is that it doesn't respond to button clicks all the time. It may react to a click or no react, randomly. Sometimes I have to click ten times to get a reaction. It's a wireless mouse, yes, but I got fresh batteries in and the pointer moves perfectly. so it's not a hardware problem.
Currently I'm trying to switch to the newer evdev driver, but there are problems with that too. Here's the relevant output from "cat /proc/bus/input/devices":
| Code: |
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=045e Product=00f9 Version=0111
N: Name="Microsft Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-3/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event0
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=1000000000007 ff800000000007ff febeffdff3cfffff fffffffffffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=107
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=045e Product=00f9 Version=0111
N: Name="Microsft Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-3/input1
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd mouse0 event1
B: EV=10001f
B: KEY=37fff00ac3027 bf00444400000000 c000000001f0001 10f848b37c407 ff7f7bfad971dfff febeffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe
B: REL=fc3
B: ABS=ffffff01000701ff
B: MSC=10
|
So, the mouse is at /dev/input/event1. "cat /dev/input/event1" also proves that, outputting stuff when mouse moves or buttons are clicked. I'm trying to use the following snippet for xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "evBits" "+1-2"
Option "keyBits" "~272-287"
Option "relBits" "~0-2 ~6 ~8"
Option "Pass" "3"
EndSection
|
Mouse doesn't work. Here's "grep Mouse1 /var/log/Xorg.0.log":
| Code: |
(**) |-->Input Device "Mouse1"
(**) Mouse1: always reports core events
(II) Mouse1: Found 36 absolute axes.
(II) Mouse1: Configuring as pointer.
(II) Mouse1: Found 8 relative axes.
(II) Mouse1: Configuring as pointer.
(EE) Mouse1: Unable to parse 'RelAxis 0' as a map specifier.

(II) Mouse1: Configured 61 mouse buttons.

(**) Mouse1: Configuring in Absolute mode.
(**) Mouse1: Registering 61 buttons.
(II) Mouse1: Init
(II) Mouse1: On
(II) Mouse1: Off
|
So, why the mouse is being treated as a 61-button keyboard, is beyond me.

How do you remap keys in a hal configuration file?
xmodmap seems to mess up the keymap. |

ad this to your mouse options and try again 
Option "CorePointer"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
here's my xorg.conf part:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech 2.4GHz Cordless Desktop Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
EndSection
