Hello, I am just trying to understand why my usb mouse does not work properly when connected via a usb to ps2 adapter. I have in
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi the following section <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge> <!-- 20Jan10 left-handed mouse --> <merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5 6 7</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ButtonMapping" type="string">3 2 1</merge> <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge> </match> </match> which sets up a left-handed mouse. It works when the usb mouse is plugged into the usb port but not when plugged into the ps2 port via the adapter. The wheel works but the left and right buttons work in the right handed mode. Thanks for insights. -- Valmor
