Re: another mouse question!!
hi Nate,
thanks for the help -- got some more questions for you before I go
back to work tomorrow and tackle this again:
so the mouse is (eventually) attached to the machine via USB?
if so, then you need to load the usbmouse drivers and configure them.
yes, everything makes it through usb eventually.
I am not certain if debian includes these by default. I use a USB
logitech trackman marble wheel on this laptop I'm usin, and the
configuration (kernel 2.2) for me is:
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_UHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
sorry,where does this stuff go? I'm in kernel 2.4.18 -- don't know
how different things will be...
then i have this in /dev:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 Feb 17 23:13 /dev/usbmouse
do I just mkdir /dev/usbmouse, or is there another trick?
this in my XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "Zaxismapping" "4 5"
EndSection
this I think I understand at this point
I load these modules on boot:
mousedev 3808 0 (unused)
hid 11840 0 (unused)
input 2880 0 [mousedev hid]
hwere do I do this (sorry to ask instead of just find out -- I'm at
home and away form linux right now)
more info in the kernel documentation under Documentation/usb/input.txt
I didn't find input.txt in my Documentation-usb directory -- maybe in
2.4 it's all different?
this of course is assuming your using a USB mouse of some sort, on
2.2 kernel
...2.4, unfortunately; hopefully some of this will work for me
on my laptop I use 2 pointers, the internal track knob thing and
the usb mouse. which is why my Identifier is Mouse2 instead of
just Mouse.
