 |
|
Hi,
I hab a Dell Inspiron 8200. It has a touchpad and I have a PS/2 wheel mouse which I use mostly. To use the extern mouse with mouse wheel I need the protocol ImPS/2. The touchpad needs PS/2. If I have ImPS/2 in the InputDevice Section in the /etc/X11/XF86Config and start X without the extern mouse the touchpad goes crazy (wild cursor jumping).
Till now (with Kernel 2.4) I had the following Section in my XF86Config:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
This worked fine. The touchpad worked fine when no extern mouse was plugged on, and when it was plugged the mouse wheel worked as well.
Now, with Kernel 2.6, the mouse wheel doesn't work with the settings above.
What can I do? Do I have to recompile X with the new Kernel?
Thanks,
Tassilo |

| I had the same problem on 2.4 and it turned out to be that I was loading the wrong type of USB support (UHCI instead of OHCI IIRC). What happens if you cat /dev/input/mice ? |

USB-Support? Has that anything to do with ps/2 mice?

A lot of characters are given out when I move the mouse or touchpad or click a mouse/touchpad button.

This is my XF86Config
| Code: |
......
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.

Hi.
Thanks to all who tried to help. Now I've got it. I made 2 Sektions, one for the touchpad and one for the extern mouse. The touchpad is the "CorePointer" and the mouse "SendsCoreEvents". This works great and is exactly what I wanted.
I loudly shout RTFM at me, a simple
and some reading and the solution appeared. 
Greets,

Hi,
I had the same problem some time ago, having the mouse protocol set to Auto. Now I changed it to IMPS/2 and works fine ... |
