Weird USB Mouse Problem!! Please help me!!!

[gudentach12]

hi,

i have a problem to get my usbmouse running on my laptop. the touchpad works fine,
but i dont want to use it. i have an optical logitech usb mouse.

now somewhere in the forum i read, that i have to edit some lines in /etc/X11/XF86config:

this is what i edited in the server layout section

InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvent"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"

this is what i edited in the input device section

Section "InputDevice"

# touchpad

Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

now here are some relevant kernel settings (version 2.4.20-gentoo-r5)

this is in character devices--> mice

<M> Bus Mouse Support ? ?
? ? <M> ATIXL busmouse support ? ?
? ? <M> Logitech busmouse support ? ?
? ? <M> Microsoft busmouse support ? ?
? ? <*> Mouse Support (not serial and bus mice) ? ?
? ? [*] PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support


this is in usb support

--- USB Human Interface Devices (HID) ? ?
? ? <M> USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support ? ?
? ? [*] HID input layer support ? ?
? ? [*] /dev/hiddev raw HID device support ? ?
? ? <M> USB HIDBP Keyboard (basic) support ? ?
? ? <M> USB HIDBP Mouse (basic) support ? ?
? ? <M> Aiptek 6000U/8000U tablet support ? ?
? ? <M> Wacom Intuos/Graphire tablet support



if i plug in the mouse, dmesg gives me message:

usb.c: registered new driver hiddev

Everything seems to be ok. i think

As you see in the InputDeviceSection Mouse1 is located in /dev/input/mice
but in this directory (/dev/input/) there is no mice file.


I dont know what i did wrong. Hope somebody can help me fix this. I dont know why the mice file in /
dev/input isnt there.

Thanks for your help!!! Hope i gave enough information

Under Input core support in your kernel config, have you enabled it and Mouse support?

Also, enable full HID support under USB support but turn off the modules for HIDBP (basic) support. You could also turn off all the modules for busmouse support since you probably don't have a busmouse.

Hope this helps.

These are the options I have in my kernel for a USB mouse and keyboard:
