I've installed Debian Woody on my PC which has a Logitech Optical USB mouse
which is connected with a PS/2 adaptor
The mouse is configured as (XF86Config-4):
ection "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
The problem is that as soon as I login into Gnome, the mouse doesnt move at all.
mdetect detects the mouse @ /dev/psaux
I need to switch to a console terminal & then do a cat /dev/psaux & move &
click the mouse => lots of junk appears on the screen. If I switch back to X,
the mouse starts working. (please note that this works only if done from a
console & not thru a normal gnome terminal window from inside the X session)
I've seen people use cat /dev/psaux to check if the mouse has been detected.
But, why does this have to be a rather unclean way of getting it working ?
would appreciate any help on this
Also, has anyone on this list tried Gnome2 with Woody ? Would like tips on that
& CDs (of Gnome 2 for Woody) too if available.
thanks in advance ...
