Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 wheel support buggy
Hi, i have following problem: As soon as i move the mouse, the mouse wheel won't scroll anymore. I checked on the /dev/input/event2 device with input-events from the input-utils and it shows very few mouse wheel events passed from the kernel when i move the mouse (grepped it and 2-3 for several seconds of moving as opposed to many more when i hold the mouse still). The stupid thing is, that when i first boot to windows and then reboot to linux it works perfectly until i switch the computer off. Does anyone know a solution or at least have the same problem?

Problems getting all buttons in intellimouse working using imwheel & xmodmap
I'm trying to get the side buttons working on my ms intellimouse under
sarge. Previously under yoper, I had set XF86Config-4 to a 7 button
mouse with ZAxisMapping to "6 7", run xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4
5" and then run imwheel to map the side buttons to something useful.
However this isn't working under sarge. Here's where I'm at:
I'm running on a laptop with a touchpad & a MS intellimouse attached by
USB. The mouse section of XF86Config-4 looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device""/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents""true"
Option "Device""/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
The odd thing is that the touchpad doesn't work atall, and
the /dev/psaux device seems to be my USB intellimouse - since changing
the original config of the /dev/psaux mouse from 5 to 7 buttons caused
the scrollwheel on the intellimouse to stop working.
So, question 1 is why does the USB mouse show up as /dev/psaux and can I
change this? Could this be the cause of my problems (below)?
With this setup xev shows the following button mappings:
left mouse = button 1
click scrollwheel - button 2
right mouse = button 3
scroll down = button 7
scroll up = button 6
left side button = button 2
right side button = button 3
I then run xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
Now, xev shows left, right & scrollwheel clicks to be the same. However
the scrolling down now shows as button 7, then if I carry on scrolling
button 5. Likewise scrolling up shows initally as button 6 then, if I
carry on scrolling, button 4. The side buttons still act as buttons 2 &
3. Obviously running imwheel doesn't work because the button mappings
are still messed up.
As an experiment I tried changing the protocol to ExplorerPS/2. This
time before the xmodmap line, the side buttons acted as buttons 4 and 5.
However after running the xmodmap line, a single scroll up gives a
press/release of both button 4 & 6. A single scroll down gives
press/releases of buttons 5 and 7. The side buttons give the same
events as a scroll up or down.
So, why does the xmodmap line not work? And why does scrolling activate
as 2 buttons?

It looks like your using the wrong protocol, most PS2 mice, even if they are Intellimouse work better if you use the ImPS/2 protocol. Give that a try, also you might want to try using gpm so you can have a mouse in a console window. If that is the case search the list, or google for gpm setup.

Hi Sebastian
I run a G4 and my XF86Config-4 Mouse section is identical to yours but
I'm sure I read somewhere that you don't need gpm and that may be part
of your problem. I don't have it installed.
You could try uninstalling gpm and see whether that helps. If
not, I suggest you post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
there are some knowledgeable folks there ;)

Hi Clive, thanks for your suggestion. uninstalling (and re-installing) gpm
did not solve the problem. For some reason, I believe that knowing what
exactly is different between the 2.2 and the 2.4 kernel as far as mouse options and
usb functionality would be the key to a possible solution or workaround

My computer is a PowerBook G3 ("pismo").

mapped on F12), but I cannot get my external USB mouse to work properly.
Whatever I try, the following happens:
-up/down movements of the mouse are not recognized.
-left/right movements of the mouse result in up/down movements of the
pointer.
-clicking the left and right buttons moves the cursor just a little to the
right.
-clicking the wheel (=middle button) moves the curser a little faster to the
right.
(These things happen BOTH in X and in the text console (tty1...tty6).
my current configuration is:

USB Intellimouse problem
Hey everyone, I'm running Debian stable with an Intellimouse 3.0 and I'm having the most awful time. I had the older version Intellimouse on this machine (my laptop, an Inspiron 4100) and it was great, then I had some problems and ended up reinstalling Debian from scratch (in other words, all of my old configuration is gone). Now the mouse is really choppy and many times the left click isn't even detected. Sometimes it will click, but in slightly the wrong place! Here is the appropriate section of my XF86Config-4: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Intellimouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Device""/dev/input/mice" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "Resolution""1200" EndSection I added the Resolution option on a whim after seeing it in someone else's config file, but it didn't do anything for me. Basically the mouse cursor is smooth and accurate using the touchpad (/dev/psaux) but really choppy and inaccurate using the Intellimouse. Any suggestions?

The following config works well for me and my MS Wheel-Mouse:

| device=/dev/psaux
| responsiveness=
| repeat_type=raw
| type=imps2
| append=""
+--- in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ---

| Identifier "Mouse2"
| Driver "mouse"
| Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
| Option "Device""/dev/gpmdata"
| Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
| EndSection
Note that the "raw" repeat-type gets gpm to echo mouse-events directly thru
to /dev/gpmdata ... I then configure X to talk "IMPS/2". If you use the
default repeat-type ("msc"), you'd have to modify your XF86Config to suit.

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

Re: cannot use microsoft intellimouse 1.2A ps/2 compatible
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.

cannot use microsoft intellimouse 1.2A ps/2 compatible
can anyone help me. i'm in the process of installing the official binary-i386 version 2.2_r3 of debian, but when i get to the part of configuring xf86 and i'm trying to configure the mouse wich is a microsoft intellimouse 1.2A ps/2 compatible. i've tried different cconfigurations such as (1) protocol: imps2 device: /dev/mouse (mouse did not move); (2)protocol: imps2 device: dev/ttySO (mouse moved erratically,but always shifted to the right corner of the screen). someone told me to check and see if i had gpm.conf file in my /etc directory, but i did not find it. any help is appreciated. thanks. --cc _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

problems with intellimouse explorer USB
I have installed debian woody but I still use kernel 2.2.19 (the one which is installed with floppy disks) I installed Xfree 4.x.x (the ones that come with woody). And they do not recognize my mouse. So I can´t execute xf86cfg. When I execute xf86config and asks me for the dev entry for my mouse I do not know what to answer. And there is no /dev/mouse entry in /dev dir. I have the mouse connected to my LG Flatron 795 FT+ USB hub. Thank you NANO

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!

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 have the same mouse as yours, and all I use is the ZAxisMapping line and I don't use imwheel. I think that possibly the one app imwheel is good for is NS 4.x. All gnome and kde apps scroll fine without it as does Mozilla and Opera. It mya be possible to tell imwheel to only affect certain apps, so that may be a possible solution. I just don't use NS4 unless I have to, preferring Mozilla, Opera, or Konqueror over it. I know that if imwheel affects everything, then it makes wheel-aware apps scroll extra lines, which is annoying. -Rob
Re: Scrolling the mouse wheel of Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (again) in Corel Linux 1.2
if your using gpm to interact with X you need to set XF86config to use /dev/gpmdata instead of /dev/psaux although the only wheel prog ive ever used is imwheel(with logitech trackman marble wheel trackballs) - which used /dev/psaux instead nate Bruce Miller wrote: > > I am yet another user having difficulty getting the wheel of a > Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (the big mouse with the optical eye) > to scroll in Linux.

Scrolling the mouse wheel of Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (again) in Corel Linux 1.2
I am yet another user having difficulty getting the wheel of a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (the big mouse with the optical eye) to scroll in Linux. I am running Corel Linux Desktop version 1.2 with a 2.2.16 kernel, and with Corel's modifications to KDE. Corel Linux is a flavour of Debian, so a few packages are from the latest stable release of Debian (potato). Xfree is version 3.3.6. gpm is version 1.17.8-18. Imwheel was behaving strangely and I uninstalled it. Following advice from Colas Nahaboo's X mouse wheel scroll page (http://www- sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/) and other sources, I set up the pointer section of XF86Config like this: Section "Pointer" Protocol "imps/2" Device "/dev/psaux" Resolution 100 Buttons 5 ZAxisMapping4 5 EndSection The following appear to be consensus settings for /etc/gpm.conf: device=y responsiveness= repeat_type=ms3 type=imps2 # append="" I will be trying Colas Nahaboo's modifications to Netscape to see if the wheel scrolls there. I gather that users of Debian have had particular difficulty getting a wheel mouse to scroll. Has anyone solved this? I will be attempting to post this message to: debian-user@lists.debian.org thecorelsupport.linux.corellinux newsgroup X Mouse Wheel WWW Board: http://www-sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/

Re: RE: Intellimouse + gpm + X
What do you mean "by removing th gpmdata"? Did you just not include the -R option? If so, what options did you use in X? I tried not running gpm and still couldn't get the scrolling mouse to work.

RE: Intellimouse + gpm + X
I've made it work on a machine by removing the gpmdata... But I still get strange behavior: If I am on the console mode and switch back t X, sometimes the mouse is stuck and I have to press on the middle button to unlock it. I think I may go back to the former solution if nobody has an idea on how to fix this problem. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 4:15 PM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Intellimouse + gpm + X > > > I have a MS Intellimouse that I have working with gpm and X just fine, > however I have not been able to get the scrolling ball to work. > Depressing it works as the third button, however.

Intellimouse + gpm + X
I have a MS Intellimouse that I have working with gpm and X just fine, however I have not been able to get the scrolling ball to work. Depressing it works as the third button, however. I have looked at the scolling mouse howto on my machine and online, but I haven't found anything that will get it to work. I'm using the -R option with gpm so X can use /dev/gpmdata as it's mouse device. It's a ps2 mouse, so the type is set to imps2, but it still doesn't work. There must be some configuration option I'm missing somewhere? Maybe with the repeat option or something? Can anyone help me out here? Rob

Netscape and MS Intellimouse
Hello, Netscape used to have support for the Intellimouse in my Debian 2.1 box. Now I have a fresh Potato install (new hard drive), only a few days old, and the old ¨tricks¨ don´t work anymore. So far I have the line ZAxisMapping4 5 in my /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

Re: intellimouse/XF86Setup
Check to see whether or not you have gpm installed, and if it is running. If it is, you should use /dev/gpmdata as the mouse device. If it isn't you could try installing gpm and let it auto detect your mouse. Also make sure that your kernel has PS/2 support compiled into it, by finding a line like below in /var/log/messages Apr 10 15:39:10 laptop kernel: Detected PS/2 Mouse Port.

gpm repeating Intellimouse protocol?
Has anyone gotten gpm to repeat in Intellimouse protocol for X? I'm trying to get my wheel mouse (logitech forst mouse+ serial) to work with wheel events alongside my USB generic 3-button. According to <http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/wwwboard/messages/93.html> Zephaniah E. Hull (GPM's maintainer) says that the gpm in Potato (which my machine is running) will repeat into ms3 protocol. Unfortunately, when I set up X to use protocol IntelliMouse with device /dev/gpmdata I get the classic `pointer stays in top left corner and acts jumpy' behaviour. X works with MouseSystems protocol even when gpm is (supposedly) repeating in ms3 protocol. (gpm -t ms3 -R ms3). gpm repeating in raw mode didn't seem to work with ANY X mouse protocol I tried. Looks like a bug somewhere, but is it that potato's gpm is supposed to repeat intellimouse but doesn't, or is it a bug in my setup? >
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: MS Intellimouse
Colin, I found a little program called imwheel in the freshmeat.net site, downloaded it and installed it. It has been working fine for me ever since, and it does precisely what you are looking for: wheel + third button. Give it a try.

MS Intellimouse
Someone I know is running potato and has a MS Intellimouse (a mouse with two buttons and a wheel). What we'd like to be able to do is have the functionality of both the wheel and an emulated third button. However, we read that the Emulate3Buttons in X doesn't work if ZAxisMapping is turned on. So, currently, we have ZAxisMapping on (so we can get the scrolling) but she has no way of doing the third mouse-button click.

Definitely read the available HOTWOs. This may also help - the note I wrote to myself to remember how I got the wheel working both as a scrolling wheel and as the middle button: - download imwheel from freshmeat and then make sudo make install - change XF86Config: 55c55 <Protocol"PS/2" --- >Protocol"IMPS/2" 56a57 >ZAxisMapping4 5 60c61 <Emulate3Buttons --- > # Emulate3Buttons - modify gpm configuration: type=imps2 - add to .xinitrc: imwheel There will be little differences depending on the Linux system you run and how you start X, etc. This is for Debian 2.1 and running X with "startx" (vs. xdm).

Problem with IntelliMouse
Hi! I've got a small problem with my MS IntelliMouse (no, I didn't buy it - I won it :-) When I use the PS/2 - Serial adapter and put this in my XF86config: Protocol "IntelliMouse" Device"/dev/ttyS0" everything works as expected. (Sidenote: if I add Buttons 5 ZAxisMapping 4 5 I can even use the wheel!) But I would like to use it as PS/2 mouse to free the serial port. So I put this in my XF86config: Protocol "PS/2" Device"/dev/psaux" and I only get _two_ buttons. *sniff* I really would be happy with 3 buttons, but 2 is just not enough for X.

With the same setup, I have "-2 -R" appended to the gpm line. '-2' because it doesn't seem to work with three buttonw, and '-R' to pipe the mouse into /dev/gpmdata for use by the X server. The mouse section in XF86Config needs to point to /dev/gpmdata with "MouseSystems" as the mouse type, and Emulate3Buttons on due to the funny 2-button thing. GPMs man-page describes this in more detail. If you use "imps/2" as the XF86Config mouse type instead then it should work fine, but the mouse will go crazy once you leave X, even if you'd killed the gpm server beforehand.

The mouse works OK outside of X, started via gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 gpmconfig actually wants 'ms3' according to its help option, rather than ps2 but won't accept ms3 (maybe linux chokes on any 'ms' concatenation :) ). Still wanting hints to get this thing X happy. TIA, Richard
intellimouse
I've just installed 2.0 Beta on my new-to-me Gateway. The mouse works, but not well enough to be useful. For example, it does let me install X - but it isn't able to operate coherently. Details: It is a microsoft intellimouse Upon bailing out of X with , I get the message: "Warning: /dev/psaux unable to unable to get status of mouse fd (Inappropriate ioctl for device)" Any hints appreciated! TIA, Richard

Every mouse is connected to another port. If this is a ps2 mouse it should be at /dev/psaux, it it is connected to com1, the port is /dev/ttyS0. If you still have problems, try to /usr/sbin/gpm-mouse-test and then /usr/sbin/gpmconfig. About X: After you see how to configure gpm, it shouldn't be a problem.

Read the man page for XF86Config. It explains how to set up an IntelliMouse (or anything else).

Hi, I'm running into trouble while trying to install the 2.0 on a friend box. All went fine, except that we can't use its M$-mouse: gpm's not working and I'm unable to configure the Xserver. Could someone points me to the port the mouse is associated to and which driver should I install ? Thanx in advance, Max

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] .

PS/2 IntelliMouse && X 3.3-3 problems...
Greetings... When I first got my M$ IntelliMouse, I set it up with the serial adapter on COM1. Now that I have a USR PalmPilot, I need that COM port so that I can HotSync under Lose95. I realized that my MB had a PS2 mouse connector on it, so I uncovered the hole on the back of my case and hooked up the mouse to it. Lose95 finds the mouse just fine and dandy. However, Linux is another matter altogether. I'm running kernel 2.0.30, customized to suit my hardware (yes, I used kernel-package), including the PS2 mouse support. I altered my XF86Config file so that I now have: Section "Pointer" Protocol "IntelliMouse" Device "/dev/psaux" [ Other commented stuff ] EndSection I'm running xdm, and when it starts up, I *do* get the "X" mouse cursor in the middle of the screen, but when I move the mouse, it immediately jumps to the upper left corner, never to return from there.. Anyone seen this and overcome it before? BTW, the X server is XF86_SVGA, running with a Matrox Millennium. During bootup, I see: PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed. Which leads me to believe that the kernel sees the mouse. -- Jason Costomiris <><| "VMS is about as secure as a poodle [EMAIL PROTECTED] | encased in a block of lucite http://www.jasons.org/~jcostom/ | about as useful, too." #include | --some guy I read on Usenet -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
