|
|
Ok got Gentto running on a Dell C610. Anyone farmiliar with these units know they come with a glidepoint, erraserhead, and external mouse port. They all seem to obey the PS/2 standard, but that's where the problems start. My external mouse if a Intellamouse with a scroll. So...
1) With external mouse plugged in and XF set to IMPS/2 everything works fine
2) With external mouse plugged in and XF set to PS/2 no wheel
3) Without external mouse and XF set to IMPS/2 the mouse is jumpy
3) Without external mouse and XF set to PS/2 the glidepoint is fine
4) protocol "auto" doesn't work either. Although I might have screwed something up.
Any ideas on what to do now except have 2 XF configs and copy them back and forth and restart the X server whenever this happenes?
Thanks, |

You're not alone, I do have the same problem on my Compaq Armada M700.
But as your post has been unanswered for such a long time, I guess there isn't any solution

In case you are still having this problem, here is a snippet from XF86Config on my IBM X21 laptop:
Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

Cheers

Thanks a lot for your help, the bumpiness is gone but the wheel also
It seems to me that if you define PS/2 as your core pointer's protocol, every extension to it (like IMPS/2) is ignored. Well, as I'm currently mainly working on my laps with the glidepoint, I guess I can live with the missing wheel right now. And maybe there will be a solution for it some day... |

Try setting buttons to 5 if you've got an 3 button+wheel intellimouse, if it's an Explorer, try Code: | xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5" |

My original /etc/X11/XF86Config looked like Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection |
which made the wheel work and the glidepoint, when being on its own, bumpy, just like snowmoon described it
Anyway, thanks a lot, and as long as the rest of the system is working as expected (or even better ), I can live with the situation |
