 Posted: Sat Nov 10, 2007 8:26 pm Post subject: mouse problem |
 |
|
hi ,
i have strange issue. it's the first time im having it and i have installed gentoo many times before.
my mouse is not detected. even in console (gpm). when i try to do cat /dev/input/mice or dev/psaux i dont get any coments.
my xorg.conf is just fine. all the mouse entries are pointing to /dev/input/mice (i have tried also /dev/psaux).
next thing i did is to boot from a live knopix cd to check if it's only the jentoo problem. and it does. knopix is able to recognize the mouse.
next thing - i have copied those mouse enteries from the knopix live cd file to the gentoo xorg file.
still , the mouse doesnt work.
i have tried to rebuild xorg-server and xf86-input-mouse. still , nothing.
final step. i have checked the kernel to see if i have enabled all the usb stuff in it.
and to be sure that i have done all - i have compiled it again.
no , the mouse isn't working so far and i absolutly have no idea why.
i would appriciate if somone could give me some tips about.
by the way , its a microsoft usb optical mouse with a wheel. and i have tried also to connect it via ps/2 adapter and it doesnt work either.
thanks ,
shay. |

| Have you upgraded to kernel 2.6.23 recently? The usb mouse section has been moved so make oldconfig doesn't work for it. You need to enable it under HID (Human interface devices). |

Okay well in that case I don't know what can help, but I'm sure someone else does.
If you have a USB drive you can redirect standard output to a file, for instance, if the USB drive is mounted at /mnt/usb:
| Code: | | emerge --info >> /mnt/usb/emerge_info |
then post the output from another computer.
You could also post the output directly from your computer using the ttyX terminals and links/lynx |

| hi, same problem here. I've tried different settings in xorg.conf (/dev/psaux /dev/input/mice /dev/input/mouse0 ...) without any result. mouse is displayed in lsusb, and its working for sure (checked with cat /dev/input/mouse1), so i figure it must be Xserver fault. |

if i check the xorg log file it tells me the mouse driver loaded. so i dont know what causes the problem.

This is my xorg.conf related to the mouse:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
# The mouse protocol and device. The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
the ps2 in my case is the touchpad of the laptop.
kernel settings:
| Code: | grep -i mouse /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=m
|
usb settings in the kernel:
| Code: | carin # grep -i usb /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -i hid
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
# CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT_POWERBOOK is not set
# CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set
# USB HID Boot Protocol drivers
# CONFIG_USB_PHIDGET is not set
carin carin # grep -i usb /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -i ohci
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m
# CONFIG_USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN is not set
CONFIG_USB_OHCI_LITTLE_ENDIAN=y
carin carin # grep -i usb /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -i uhci
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m
grep -i usb /usr/src/linux/.config|grep -i ehci
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m
# CONFIG_USB_EHCI_SPLIT_ISO is not set
# CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT is not set
# CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED is not set
|
hope this helps. |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Kernel & Hardware.
not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here.

I upgraded yesterday x through emerge world. And it works on my side. Looks like it's a X bug. |

My suggestions:
1. Try another mouse.
2. Try to post xorg.conf maybe 1 line is missing and you don't notice it. copy to disk on key and post from other computer.
3. Have you tried all /dev/input/mice /dev/input/mouse0 /dev/input/mouse1 or whatever you have there?
4. Send the output of | Code: | | grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
5. | Code: | | grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
6. In the protocol (in xorg) you can try Auto or Microsoft. This is taken from this link:
http://linux.die.net/man/4/mouse-driver. Don't forget to restart X if you change the protocol.
7. Here is the output of | Code: | grep -i mouse /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) |-->Input Device "Mouse1"
(**) |-->Input Device "Mouse2"
(**) |-->Input Device "Mouse3"
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//mouse_drv.so
(II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(==) intel(0): Silken mouse enabled
(**) Mouse1: Device: "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Mouse1: Protocol: "PS/2"
(**) Mouse1: Core Pointer
(**) Mouse1: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Mouse1: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Mouse1: Buttons: 9
(**) Mouse1: Sensitivity: 1
(**) Mouse2: Device: "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Mouse2: Protocol: "Auto"
(**) Mouse2: always reports core events
(==) Mouse2: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Mouse2: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Mouse2: Buttons: 9
(**) Mouse2: Sensitivity: 1
(**) Mouse3: Device: "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Mouse3: Protocol: "Auto"
(**) Mouse3: always reports core events
(==) Mouse3: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Mouse3: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Mouse3: Buttons: 10
(**) Mouse3: Sensitivity: 1
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse3" (type: MOUSE)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse2" (type: MOUSE)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE)
(II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
(--) Mouse2: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2"
(II) Mouse2: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
(--) Mouse3: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2"
(II) Mouse3: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
|
Try to compare to yours. The 3rd mouse I have in my xorg is a mouse that I tried to configure once.
8. Last resort to downgrade X.
I assume that all modules in the kernel are loaded correctly. |

i dont know if this is the prob you guys are having or not but my Xorg log shows...
| Code: | (**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Mouse0: always reports core events
(EE) Mouse0: cannot open input pEvdev
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "Mouse0"
|
my mouse setup in my xorg.conf...
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "Microsoft Microsoft Optical Mouse with Tilt Wheel"
Option "DIALRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"
EndSection
|
it worked prior to one of the updates, now... shows up, nothin though |

both of you re emerge xserver again and xf86-input- mouse and evdev and video driver. in that order.
it can help you if your /dev has the nodes
try etc-update
update udev if /dev missing the mouse nodes.
new evdev and udev has come in portage.
you can even try renaming the xorg.conf. it can work without that.
good luck

I had the same problem after emergeing x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-1.2.0. Downgrading to x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-1.1.5-r2 solved the problem for me.

I think it's not a good idea to mark this post solved.
A downgrade doesn't solve the problem. The problem still exists in version 1.2.0.
Imho downgrades never correct the defects. |
