IntelliMouse Explorer (USB Compatible)

[sz-pr@gmx.de]

Hi,

I decided trying to get help on this list after having read many articles I
found with google and having tried a lot of different entries in the
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and /etc/gpm.conf files - none of which worked.

My computer is a PowerBook G3 ("pismo").
I run 'woody' (2.4.18-newpmac).

The built-in touchpad runs very well (with button2 mapped on F11 and button2
mapped on F12), but I cannot get my external USB mouse to work properly.
Whatever I try, the following happens:

-up/down movements of the mouse are not recognized.
-left/right movements of the mouse result in up/down movements of the
pointer.
-clicking the left and right buttons moves the cursor just a little to the
right.
-clicking the wheel (=middle button) moves the curser a little faster to the
right.

(These things happen BOTH in X and in the text console (tty1...tty6).

my current configuration is:

/etc/gpm.conf
device=/dev/input/mice
responsiveness=
repeat_type=ms3
type=ps2
append=""
sample_rate=

/etx/X11/XF86Config-4
...
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/input/mice"
	Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"	"4 5"
EndSection
...

There seems to be someome with a similar problem:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200212/msg04475.html

I did not have this problem when I had the 2.2 kernel installed - but
several other things didn't work then; besides -as far as i understood- the 2.4
kernel is recommended for the pismo.

Thank you for reading - your help is greatly appreciated!

-Sebastian
