PostPosted: Fri Apr 19, 2002 3:02 am    Post subject: PS/2 mouse Reply with quote

I'm having some trouble with my Logitech Mouseman Wheel. I have it configured correctly in X, and it works, but only after I start clicking the buttons and moving it all around. I'll try to do a "cat /dev/psaux", and I have the same problem. It tells me that it can't find the mouse. Once it is found, it works until I reboot, but I was wondering if there is a way to do this without user intervention. I've never seemed to have this problem before, so my guess is that it's not a hardware thing. Can anyone help me out?

Hi!

This is just a guess, but it might be related to devfs. /dev/psaux should be a symlink to /dev/misc/psaux. You might check /etc/devfs.conf and make sure all the legacy dev symlinks are getting set up correctly.

i can't get the wheel to work on my logitech... i believe i put in the ZAxisMapping 4 5 option but perhaps it's just because i haven't restarted x. then again, i did do "CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE"

This should be enough:

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Well, I remembered using just that configuration last time I installed Gentoo.
Have the same config now, but the wheel refuses to work, despite the fact that there's no change in hardware in any way.

Try adding
Option "Buttons" "5"
before ZAxisMapping
