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
