Mouse problems!!!

peque · 2006-07-24 17:44:23

Hi guys!

I got a dockingstation for my IBM THinkpad R51 og connected a mouse to it. But I'm not able to scroll with the mouse. My dmesg says like this:
Probing IDE interface ide1...
logips2pp: Detected unknown logitech mouse model 1
input: PS/2 Logitech Mouse as /class/input/input1

and in the bottom of dmesg there' s a lot of :
Unable to query Synaptics hardware.
input: PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input78
logips2pp: Detected unknown logitech mouse model 1
Unable to query Synaptics hardware.

What can I do about that - and especially about getting the scroll to work???

Thanks

Q: How can I set up my mouse scroll wheel in Xorg or XFree86?

A: This is done in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config file. For most wheel mice, you simply have to add
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

to the Mouse section. For example:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

all that is done - the question is that is it special for a logitech mouse - and really special for a dockingstation???
I have a normal desktop - the same mouse works without any problems - and the setting are the same ! I have ZAxisMapping and everything else - BUT the only place where I got this error is when I use my dockingstation!!!

Sorry for the late reply but I had one small suggestion.

I've got a laptop and found MUCH happier time since I started using synaptics driver for my touchpad and evdev for my mouse. I can have my mouse plugged in, not in or even plug it in WHILE X is running and it just starts working - something I didn't expect at all. Relevent bits:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Touchpad"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
.....SNIP - LOADS of config options.....
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "evdev"
        Option      "Name" "Logitech Optical USB Mouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Oh and

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

is where I got the Logitech mouse name from.

alikas · 2006-08-29 17:49:56

Not use names like this 'Logitech Optical USB Mouse'.
Install 'pacman -S hwd' if not installed and write 'hwd -xa' with root.
It ovewrite '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file and crate new (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … igure_xorg).

test1000 · 2006-08-29 19:50:34

wth, can someone just remove this tool as someone seems to believe it is a 'magic tool'. I don't like this stuff in linux... there's been far too many posts along the lines of "why doesn't X work? i've run hwd!!1 but still it doesn't work!!"

lefallen · 2006-08-31 01:44:44

@alikas,

hmm, I don't know, I seemed to get some pretty silly output from hwd -x. The mouse settings were totally incorrect, along with video and other things. I think it's just easier to read xorg.conf and driver man pages and tell it what YOU want.

IMHO that seems more like The Arch Waytm.

lefallen,

this is SWEET indeed!

Please put this in the WIKI! (I have the feeling, that the xorg.conf article is outdated anyways).

Greetings,
Blind
