I was able to solve my PS2 mouse/CD burning problem by shifting the mouse to USB.
But here's the catch. I was unable to use mousedrake to configure it. It kept complaining that "no usb bus found\n at /usr/sbin/mousedrake line 54." Bull, I type this with a USB mouse configured with modprobing input.o, mousedev.o and rebooting my system, which found it during hardware detection (hey I thought I didn't ever have to reboot!)
Now, I am trying to get this to be a proper wheel mouse which it was as a PS2 mouse, but as a USB mouse I can't get the wheel detected.
I edited /etc/X11/XF86Config in the Pointer section:
from:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux" ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection
to:
Section "Pointer"
Identifier "USB Mice" #added 03/21/03
Protocol "IMPS/2"
# Device "/dev/psaux" #commented out 03/21/03
Device "dev/input/mice" #added 03/21/03
ZAxisMapping "4 5" #quotes added 3/21/03
Buttons "5" #added 03/21/03
EndSection
With this, I still don't get a wheel mouse. I have the wheel button functioning, but not the wheel motion.
I have:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSectionMine is Logitech USB too, works fine with scroller
This XF86Config file differs from the ones I have previously seen. where are the quotes around the names of the fields? What about the quotes around "4 5" has Mandrake changed things? Or am I behind the times. what should my pointer section say to get this mouse to work right?
man XF86Config should include info on the quote issue, i think they are required, but there are many alias's that are valid here.
