Hi,
I was browsing through the archives to find a way to make the wheels of my
MS Intellimouse work on X. I found a piece of configuration that should be
inserted on XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
So, I inserted it as directed, and when I tried to run startx:
Config Error: /etc/XF86Config:21
Section "InputDevice"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
not a recognized section name
Here's the version of xfree that I'm using:
seattle:/etc# dpkg -l xfree*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii xfree86-common 4.0.3-4 X Window System (XFree86) infrastructure
What did I do wrong?
When I upgraded xfree86-common from 3.x to 4.x I think I told dpkg to use
my config file instead of the maintainer's new version, so it wouldn't stop
working. Is there a way to tell X to read new versions of XF86Config, so I
can rewrite the config file and add the "InputDevice" section?
Thanks,
- Vítor Souza
