 Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2004 12:16 am Post subject: Logitech serial mouse not moving in KDE |
 |
|
I've configured my Logitech M-M34 serial "First Mouse" in XF86config, but nothing seems to work. It is not moving in KDE.
I have chosen several options and none seem to work. Which Option will I need to add in XF86config for it to work properly? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
BTW, I am able to use the pointer in a VNC session, so I know the install on Gentoo is fine. |

Usually xfree uses the mousedevice that is linked to dev/mouse.
Do an "ls -l /dev/mouse"
The device must be linked to /dev/ttyS0 (your serial-port) |

Hi
"ls -l /dev/mouse" gives me
"lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Jul 29 21:31 /dev/mouse -> misc/psaux"
I guess this means my ttyS0 and ttyS1 are not enabled. Do you know how to enable those. If possible can you give me a step by step. Thank you. |

Change the line:
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
to:
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"

Sorry, that doesn't seem to work.
I read somewhere that ttyS0 or serial ports are not enabled by default on the latest version of Gentoo. I am on kernel 2.6.7
would "modprobe 8250" or "modprobe serial" work? Other posts do not specify how to use modprobe. If this is the right idea, can you please let me know what the next step is? thx |

Of course you need support for the serial mouse in the kernel.
I would compile everything I can find about serial-bus support, exspecially serial - mouse support.
