Just replaced Suse 7.3 on an HP 5425 Notebook with Debian 3.0r1.
The install went well except I guess I missed something. The Logitech USB
mouse does not work. I suspect the USB ports are not turned on.
Is there a straightforward way to init those ports now and get the
mouse working? If not, what step did I miss in the installation?
I saw the emails in the archive about the USB mouse in 2.4 but did not
want to assume anything in 3.0. Thanks,
jcp
I imagine you are talking about an external USB mouse. Here is what I had
to do with mine to get the internal (PS/2 Logitech Intellipoint) and the
external (generic USB) working simultaneously.
Add these lines (or verify that they are present) in your
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
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
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
EndSection
Basically, this tells the xserver to use the PS/2 internal as the primary
pointing device, but to also pay attention to the external USB (if present).
I have no problems with this setup, and it always works with or without
the external mouse plugged in (no need for seperate configs).
