Re: cannot use microsoft intellimouse 1.2A ps/2 compatible
Actually I think that should be /dev/psaux Best regards Johnny :o) If your mouse is a PS/2 compatible the device you should be using is /dev/aux (which is usually symlinked to /dev/mouse, but sometimes not..). Hope this is of help.

If the program doesn't show up, you will have to install the 'gpm' package by running 'dselect'. Use dselect carefully in order to not confuse your system. The program will provide you with sufficient online help, but you might have to study your way through. After installing and configuring gpm, you will be able to use your mouse in text mode. I have set my ps2 mouse on device /dev/psaux as concerns the gpm mouse interface server. Now you will also have your /etc/gpm.conf file as well. Next run 'XF86Setup' as root. Follow the instructions closely. The 'Mouse Device' will be already preset to '/dev/gpmdata'. Don't change. Instead try different mouse protocols as you think might fit. Don't get stuck on the brand of your mouse necessarily. Experiment but don't fumble about. My system once hung up completely while configuring the mouse. That's how it worked out on my system. This way you will have a mouse in both, text and graphics mode. Isn't that great ... Helmut

I use /dev/usbmouse, but /dev/input/mice applies to the device file in the same way. I'll get to it in a sec. First, you don't have all the modules you need loaded. I put them in /etc/modules so that they load when I boot up. You're missing 'hid', 'mousedev', and I don't have/use a module called 'usbmouse' myself just to let you know. My mouse is the same as the one you have. So, you'll need to make sure you have those modules in your kernel config. Here's my relevent modules listing for you... lsmod mousedev hid input usb-uhci usbcore Then, (my example will be with /dev/usbmouse)once you've got the modules thing straightened out, go into /dev and make the device file with the correct minor and major numbers, 13 and 32 respectively. The 13 63 doesn't work for me. cd /dev rm -fv usbmouse mknod usbmouse c 13 32 Now that the device file is made, as long as the modules are properly loaded, you should be able to test it by catting it to stdout... cat /dev/usbmouse This will give you a bunch of strange characters as you move the mouse around. Now you should be ready to start X. Good Luck and Enjoy!

Microsoft Intellimouse optical USB and PS/2 compatible mouse?
specifically the plug is a little rectangular shape, i.e, it is plugged into one of two USB ports. Anyone have some cogent advice? Does the kernel need updating (currently have 2.2.19pre17-idepci). -walter

I can't get the wheel to work at all - the funny thing is, when I do something like cat /dev/psaux/ | od -tc, it starts printing characters for moving the mouse or clicking the buttons, but not for moving the wheel! What can I do? If there is no response to the wheel that low level, of course it can't work anywhere else... To use the wheel you must add line for ZAxisMapping in your XF86Config.

Microsoft IntelliMouse IntelliEye
Hello, Somebody I know has a Microsoft IntelliMouse, with optical sensor. It uses version 3.0 of Intellipoint mouse drivers under Windows. Is it possible to get this mouse to work with X and/or GPM? So far nothing I have tried seems to work. I have searched the archives for this mailing list, but couldn't find anything that helps. gpm-mousetest cannot determine the mouse type. Setting the mouse type to imps/2 in X-Windows _almost_ works, but the mouse frequently jumps to the edge of the screen. Thanks in advance. -- Brian May [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Microsoft Intellimouse
I just got debian linux up, got everything configured (including X), but I have one problem. I have a microsoft intellimouse which has a PS/2 connector. When I run xf86config and pick microsoft intellimouse from the list, my mouse immediately goes to the top left corner when I run X, but if I pick PS/2 from the list, my mouse works fine. Unfortunately, that means I don't get the use of the roller/third button. Anyone know how I can get my intellimouse working? In case this helps, I use /dev/psaux as the mouse device. That works with both X and gpm. To get the extra button working on my Intellimouse, I had to plug it into the serial port with the adapter supplied with the mouse; then select Intellimouse and it should work fine. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
