Hello
Following Guy´s Recomendation I installed mga_hal drivers for the MATROX Card. To do this first I had to install the XFree86 4.3.0 release, which I did.
Now the system reports a Mouse Error. I am using a PS/2 Mouse (DELL Intellimouse 1.2A PS/2 Compatible). I tried several configurations by selecting "PS/2" mouse, "Auto" and "Microsoft", but none of the options worked.
I attach config and log files Best Regards
Enrique Benito
Hi Enrique,
I don't know much about this stuff, but for the record, here are the relevant bits of my /etc/X11/XF86Config file:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection<snip>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSectionSection "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSectionSection "InputDevice"
Identifier "DevInputMice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection*****
PS I have a Microsoft Intellimouse 1.2A PS/2 Compatible, rebadged as a Gateway mouse... sounds very similar to yours...
Ciao, Guy.
