[SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

I've just installed arch on 2 PCs. After upgrade, both of my PS/2 mouse doesn't work. Here's pice of my xorg:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "ExplorerPS/2"     # "Auto" 
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice" # "/dev/psaux"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"
EndSection

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

This is what I have: 

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "PS/2 Mouse"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents"  "true"

Try changing the Protocol and see what happens.

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

Do the changes that you are making fit in with the Section "ServerLayout" at the top of the file? i.e. I have: 

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Xorg Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

Are you restarting X after each change to the /etc/xorg.conf? Sorry to state the obvious - but you know what it is like  wink

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

yes  smile
I think it depends on kernel. On my own kernel mouse works fine. Also in kernel26 from install-cd 0.7.1

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

Yes I have this problem with kernel 2.6.19.
The only solution I have found is to use 2.6.18, so I have to keep it pinned at that.

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

I'm having this problem as well. I'm using a logitech wheel mouse model number: M-S48a. I just did a `pacman -Syu` and rebooted. I've tried using /dev/psaux, /dev/input/mice. I've tried changing the protocol to auto, logitech, and PS/2. I've also tried `modprobe psmouse` and `modprobe capability` nothing seems to work. X starts up but the mouse does not move.

I've an identical problem with my Trekker Wheel mouse. It is a PS/2 mouse.

I did a fresh install using 0.72 and did a # pacman -Syu. Then I installed xorg, xfce4 and xfce4-goodies. When I $ startx, the cursor is shown but the cursor does not move.

I've tried changing the protocol to various as found in $ xorgconfig, but it does not work. Changing device to /dev/psaux and dev/input/mice does not work too.

Generating xorg.conf using # hwd -x, # X -configure, # xorgconfig, does not remedy the problem.

I'm sure that the mouse functions ok as I do a dual boot of arch and ubuntu on the same system. In fact, I've copied over the xorg.conf over from Ubuntu to Arch.

Kernel module psmouse is loaded on boot.

I've also tried cat /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice, but no output.

I also find it odd that /dev/psaux is a symlink that points to /misc/psaux. Bcos /misc/psaux does not exist.

Any ideas?

I trying to downgrade my kernel. May I know how to do that, since Arch is a rolling release system?

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

I've tried everything mentioned above except downgrading the kernel. and I'm still having this issue. USB mice work fine but no PS/2 mice work at all. I've tried booting with a SLAX live CD and the same PS/2 mouse works fine then. Another symptom is the mouse does not show up in /proc/bus/input/devices. Some people seem to be having the same problem with Fedora Core 6. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/sh … ?id=223606

Re: [SOLVED] PS/2 mouse not working

I've tried loading the psmouse module at the command prompt and also by adding it to the rc.conf modules line and restarting. I've done a lsmod | grep psmouse to make sure its loaded and it is. Neither way makes any difference.

yes I have xf86-input-mouse 1.1.1-1 installed. I would downgrade to 2.6.18 but I can't find the package any where. Anyone know where I can find it?
