I was able to solve my PS2 mouse/CD burning problem by shifting the
mouse to USB.
But here's the catch. I was unable to use mousedrake to configure it.
It kept complaining that "no usb bus found\n at /usr/sbin/mousedrake
line 54." Bull, I type this with a USB mouse configured with
modprobing input.o, mousedev.o and rebooting my system, which found
it during hardware detection (hey I thought I didn't ever have to
reboot!)
Now, I am trying to get this to be a proper wheel mouse which it was
as a PS2 mouse, but as a USB mouse I can't get the wheel detected.
I edited /etc/X11/XF86Config in the Pointer section:
from:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
to:
Section "Pointer"
Identifier "USB Mice" #added 03/21/03
Protocol "IMPS/2"
# Device "/dev/psaux" #commented out 03/21/03
Device "dev/input/mice" #added 03/21/03
ZAxisMapping "4 5" #quotes added 3/21/03
Buttons "5" #added 03/21/03
EndSection
With this, I still don't get a wheel mouse. I have the wheel button
functioning, but not the wheel motion.
This XF86Config file differs from the ones I have previously seen.
where are the quotes around the names of the fields? What about the
quotes around "4 5" has Mandrake changed things? Or am I behind the
times. what should my pointer section say to get this mouse to work
right?
