usb mouse trouble on gentoo

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

I just started using gentoo linux.  I am having trouble configuring the 
X sever to use my Kensington mouse in a box usb wireless mouse.

This is the current setup I have in my XF86Config file:

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/usbmouse"


It used to be dev/mouse but I since finding that there was a /dev/usbmouse
I have been using that.

The OS clearly recognizes my mouse based on the line:

Jan 27 10:41:50 bing148 input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse /
[Kensington Kensington USB Mouse] on usb1:2.0

on bootup.

If I change the line Driver "mouse" to "hid", the xserver spits out that
it cannot find this module. I in fact compiled it into the kernel, so
I can understand why it can't find it as a module.  

If I change 
	Option "Protocol"    "Auto" 
to 
    Option "Protocol"    "usb"
I get this message:
(EE) Mouse1: Unknown protocol "usb"

Will someone please help me out?

My thanks in advance
James M Leddy
