|
Hi all
I just bought a "Polaroid Multimedia Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Kit" (which in fact is a BTC product as shown by /proc/bus/usb/devices) :
| Code: | C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 2 Ivl=255ms
T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=046e ProdID=5273 Rev= 2.00
S: Manufacturer=BTC
S: Product=USB Multimedia Cordless Kit |
But the point is not here.
the keyboard works perfecty , the mouse is configured for X and :
1. the pointer moves smoothly thanks to USB
2. the wheel of the mouse works, I can scroll without problems
3. BUT I cannot click anything as if the buttons where out !!!
Additional hints for the Big Mistery of the Mouse without buttons :
- If I plug another USB mouse (WireFull  ), everything works...
- The wireless mouse works under Windows98 without additional drivers (what a shame) !!
- It seems I have the same problem with gpm...
Here is my X configuation for mice :
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
#In case of, but does not work wihtout either
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Any ideas are more than welcomed, I am lost

elyoyo,
You could try
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
in place of Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
There are other mouse protocols too.
Also, be aware that if you unplug one USB mouse then puly in another, both will be /dev/input/mouse0. Your X config should work with all three mice attached at the same time though.

Unfortunatly, it did not worked.
But now I am pretty sure it does not come from my X configuration (well maybe not).
I have just noticed that each time I press a mouse button, I have this message in syslog :
Forthe left button :
| Code: | | [kernel] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 280 |
For the right button :
| Code: | | [kernel] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 281 |
For the middle button :
| Code: | | [kernel] keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 282 |
Any ideas welcome.... |

elyoyo,
In your /usr/src/linux/.config what does the USB Human Interface Devices (HID) section say?
Here is mine below.
#
# USB Human Interface Devices (HID)
#
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
# CONFIG_USB_KBD is not set
# CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set
# CONFIG_USB_AIPTEK is not set
# CONFIG_USB_WACOM is not set
The two lines
# CONFIG_USB_KBD is not set
# CONFIG_USB_MOUSE is not set
are important - they turn off legacy modes for mice and keyboards and they conflict with the use of
CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
HID (Human Interface Devices) support also has other dependancies in the kernel. They are explained in the help.
Looks like you may need to redo your kerenl.

OK, the kernel was already compiled without the usbmouse/usbkeyb modules...
Anyway, I have recompiled it by modifying the include/linux/input.h file.
As I knew the event sent by the mouse are 280,281 and 282 I have replace the following lines :
| Code: | #define BTN_LEFT 0x110
#define BTN_RIGHT 0x111
#define BTN_MIDDLE 0x112
|
by :
| Code: | #define BTN_LEFT 0x118
#define BTN_RIGHT 0x119
#define BTN_MIDDLE 0x11a
|
Recompile the kernel, reboot, and .... IT WORKS  .
As this is rather ugly, I would like to know if someone has another idea to solve this problem llike passing an argument to a module when loading it (mousedev for instance).
As usual, any comments welcomed... |

I have this same mouse/keyboard kit listed here (BTC USB Multimedia Kit), alrhough it brands itself as a Memorex RF7000.
I had managed to hack the buttons to for for a 2.4.2x flavored kernel, but am having a devil of a time updating the 2.6.9 kernel in the same fashion. The above mentioned trick (re-defining BTN_LEFT, etc) didn't work either.
Any ideas? |
