I've had problems getting my mouse to work properly with my new
install of Mandrake 8.2
The mouse is a Microsoft Intellimouse PS/2, and
my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file looks like the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
/dev/mouse points to /dev/psaux
I also have tried Auto, Microsoft, Intellimouse, and PS/2 as my
protocols. Some of these protocols made the mouse jump and
unusable. The others would have no effect except to make the
mouse unmovable and unusable.
I also tried adding the line: Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
but that didn't work either.
At first my mouse didn't work under the console, so I was able
to use gpm to resolve that. The only way I can get my mouse to
work properly in X is to bootup, then switch to a console
Ctrl+Alt+F1), and then switch back to XWindows (Ctrl+Alt+F7).
>From there, the mouse will work properly, and the mouse will
continue to work under any desktop manager. If I do not go to
a console first, then my mouse will stay unusable after going
to a desktop manager, such as WindowMaker, KDE, etc.
I know X is using /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (I started up a bare
session, and I looked at its output after redirecting to a tmp
file).
I would like to use my mouse without having to go to a console
first, so does anyone have a suggestion?
I appreciate the help,
Nate
