Hey everyone,
I'm struggling a bit to get my optical Logitech wheel mouse working
under Linux 2.6. It simply doesn't work -- X shows a mouse pointer but I
can't move the mouse. The mouse works fine under a 2.4 kernel and under
Windows 2000.
Details:
Distro: Debian unstable, all up to date (unless the Australian mirrors
are behind)
Kernel: 2.6.2 (Debian build 2.6.2-1-686)
/proc/bus/input/devices shows:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0055
N: Name="ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
H: Handlers=
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103
I've successfully modprobed the psmouse module, the dmesg output was:
input: ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1
However, neither /dev/psaux or /dev/input/mice exist (XFree gives a "no
such device" error message).
Here's the relevant section of my XF86Config-4 (I'm not using debconf to
manage it because I'm using Xinerama):
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
I've also tried setting the Device to be "/dev/psaux" and the Protocol
to be "ExplorerPS/2".
