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
