Product: drakxtools
Component: mousedrake
Summary: Handle multiple mice (e.g. for laptops)
Product: drakxtools
Version: 9.2-0.27mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: mousedrake
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A configuration typical of a laptop is to have internal mouse (e.g a touchpad,
usually PS/2) and an external mouse (usually USB or serial) that's more
comfortable and connected in the company or at home.
I'm using a Thinkpad A21e and currently, when the install is conducted with a
USB mouse atached (that's more comfortable that way), the built-in PS/2
trackpoint-type mouse is ignored and not configured.
MouseDrake should detect multiple mice if possible, or at least ask a question
similar to DrakConnect WRT network interfaces ("Do you have another one?"). Then
it should offer a list where the main Mouse device can be selected (with radio
buttons, e.g.):
List of configured mice (select the main one):
(*) PS/2 Standard 3 button
( ) USB Wheel 3 button
Currently, I have to manually detect a mouse with and without USB mouse
connected after tha installation, then, in both cases, I have to manually
extract the corresponding InputDevice section from XF86Config-4, then manually
place them both in XF86Config-4, similar to this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
<...snip...>
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout1"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"
Screen "screen1"
EndSection
