 Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2003 11:09 pm Post subject: USB Logitech MouseMan Wheel in X |
 |
|
I have a Toshiba laptop, which when I am home I plug a usb keyboard and a usb mouse into. Both are regonized and useable. The problem that I come up with is this. I can't use the scrollwheel anymore while in X. I have tried to edit my XF86Config and I still can't get it to work.
This mouse used to work on gentoo on another computer no problem except that it was used as a ps2 mouse and not usb.
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
Also tried
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
Is the pointer section out of the configuration file.
Ive tried having both devices in (the touchpad and the mice)
And I still can't get the wheel working.
Any help to this would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks in advance.[/code] |

You could try changing the button assignments around with something like:
| Code: | | $ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" |
and see if that helps. (I take it your mouse has five 'buttons'.) Try also setting the "Buttons" option in XF86Config to "7". |

Nope.. that didn't work..
But I did notice sometihng.
I removed the other mouse pointer (the touchpad) and noticed that if I use /dev/input/mice and mouse my mouse (external usb mouse) It doesn't move the pointer..
Something is really bizare here.. its almost like the mouse is beeing told by the bios to be a ps2 mouse... or something like that... it really makes no sense...
anyone got any other ideas? |

Alright,
The key problem was this.
USB mouse was not really regonized because the wrong USB host controller support was compiled into my kernel. Yup.. another retarded moment for me. Needed OHCI and not UHCI
well its working now 
Thanks for the help!
