 Posted: Tue May 07, 2013 11:55 am Post subject: [SOLVED] How to activate mouse? |
 |
|
Hi, all,
I installed gentoo as guest system in virtualbox, it works fine except mouse. "mice" & "mouse0" are in /dev/input, but when I "cat" them while move my mouse, no data output. If I start from install-*-minimal.iso, the mouse will be detected and the driver will be loaded correctly. I think there might be a command to activate mouse. The mouse setting in my kernel option seems correct: CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y, CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2*=y. What should I do now?
p.s. FYI, Xorg.0.log says:
(II) evdev: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse: initialized for relative axes.
(**) ImExPS/2 ...
(II) config/udev: Adding input device ImExPS/2... (/dev/input/mouse0)
(II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device. // How to specify mouse driver?
(II) This device may have been added with another device file.
(II) evdev: ImExPS/2 ... : Close
Thank you in advance.

| You need to emerge xorg-drivers with evdev flag enabled. |

Would you please tell me the exact form of these commands? I have done:
| Code: | | echo "x11-base/xorg-server udev" >> /etc/portage/package.use |
and | Code: | | echo 'INPUT_DEVICE="evdev"' >> /etc/make.conf |

Typo. Should be INPUT_DEVICES, not INPUT_DEVICE. 
Then, just | Code: | | emerge -1v xorg-drivers |

P.S.: Code tags appreciated for readability.

Thank you very much! It works. Now I have a fully functional Xorg.
