Mouse Configuration



Hello:

 

I have a Cordless PS/2 Logitech 3-button wheel mouse and I can’t seem to get X to work when I scroll with the mouse wheel. My current configuration in the /etc/X11/X86Config-4 is as follows:

 

Section "InputDevice"

        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"

        Driver          "mouse"

        Option          "CorePointer"

        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"

        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"

        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"

        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"

EndSection

 

I was reading on the following page on the user reference file: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-install.en.html#s3.3.1

Where it provides some examples as to how to configure X to recognize the mouse properly but the problem is that when I follow the ms3 approach stated in the document and make the changes to the “X86Config-4” file and then try to use the mouse wheel as a button (just by pushing it down) I get the following error: “www.gpm.conf could not be found. Please check the name and try again.”    I also get that same error when I try and do the same thing with my original configuration stated above.

I then also tried to use the “raw protocol approach” mentioned in the above link which consists of making changes to the  gpm.conf” & X86Config-4” files. However, I don’t have a “gpm.conf” file in my /etc folder so I cant use that approach either. Does anyone have any clues as to how I can get the mouse wheel working? And should I have a gpm.conf file?

 

Thanx!
