 Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2008 10:16 am Post subject: [Xorg] Mouse cursor badly placed [solved] |
 |
|
Hello,
First, i've posted for this problem in the french section but without result ==> here
I have an old laptop with a fresh gentoo install, X work without error but I've a problem with the mouse cursor. It is not placed on the clic coordinate, when i'm cliquing on the screen, the menu isn't under the cursor. I've an offset of many centimeter on the screen.
I have the probleme with the synaptics touchpad and a usb mouse; under gentoo, under sysresccd and toutoulinux livecd but no problem under ubuntu livecd.
An xorg.conf extract :
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "UpDownScrolling" "1"
Option "LeftRightScrolling" "0"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection

you could try using the evdev drivers for your mouse i like them and they pretty much configure themself

I don't think it's the solution, I've try with different driver (mouse, synaptics) and a mouse and touchpad. I've the problem with all configuration.
I think it's more in X and not the driver but I'll trying with evdev.

What happens if you add
Option "SWCursor" "True"
in the video card device section (not mouse section)
of xorg.conf?

I think it stands for SoftWare Cursor - xorg is in charge
of cursor control instead of hardware driver I guess. I've
heard that older equipment sometimes needs this.
(If fixed, you should put "solved" in your post title)
