mouse scroll - not the usual question

Cam · 2005-04-27 08:27:07

So, I was using 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 and everything worked great, reinstalled because of some hiccups and everything was good with the stock Arch kernel too, just didn't like hotplug. Today was the first chance I got so I downloaded the 2.6.11.7 sources from kernel.org and the cko1 patchset from here. I got the patch because it had some cool stuff, mainly fbsplash because I wanted to have a play with dibbles gensplash setup.

It compiled fine, everything works except the mouse, it's got no clue. Now my mouse has 7 buttons (including the scroll). I've never had the two on the side working like I wanted but that not the issue, that I can live without. Since I compiled my new kernel I don't have scroll either. I though that was weird, but what was even weirder is xev reports nothing when I move the wheel, the middle mouse button works fine but scrolling doesn't register. cat /dev/input/mice is the same, moving the wheel does nothing. Did I miss an option somewhere? I had a look and couldn't find anything in the input device drivers section that jumped out at me but I might be missing something stupid.

Any ideas would be geatly appreciated. Thanks

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep EVDEV -C10 is a start.

I don't have a /proc/config.gz or a /proc/config, sorry Next idea?

hmm, just means you didn't compile in /proc/config support - do a cat on your ".config" from your kernel compile....

Turn of PSAUX unless you use a PS/2 mouse. Enable HID support and the EVDEV module.
