Re: Logitech Mouseman / X
I don't know if this was mentioned or not. I have about 200 unred messages for yesterday. : You mentioned that GPM was working correctly? Try starting GPM in 'repeater' mode (add -R to your switches), then tell X to use /dev/gpmdata for the mouse device and 'MouseSystems' for the mouse type. I'm doing this on my devel machine (Serial FirstMouse+ and USB mouse) and it works well for me. If that doesn't work, then maybe your X server has a problem? -- Ferret no baka On Wed, 25 Aug 1999, Evan Van Dyke wrote: Fraser Campbell wrote: Tried that and everything else I could find.

Re: Logitech Mouseman / X
gpm works fine with it. X does not. I have tried every mouse type with it and the mouse cursor simply jumps to the top left corner of the screen as soon as it is touched. Found the very similar problem today on my friends box. He's running 3.3.4 binary obtained from Xfree86.org on Voodoo. The problem I found was the Xserver won't read /etc/X11/XF86Config file, but it read /etc/XF86Config instead. After we fixed /etc/XF86Config, everything works fine. Chanop
Logitech Mouseman / X
Hi all, Just got a new computer and cannot get the mouse to work with X no matter what I try. The mouse is 3 buttons, PS/2 and labeled as a Logitech Mouseman. gpm works fine with it. X does not. I have tried every mouse type with it and the mouse cursor simply jumps to the top left corner of the screen as soon as it is touched. I have disabled gpm so it is definitely not a conflict with gpm. Any ideas? Thanks, Fraser

Re: Logitech Mouseman / X
Hi Fraser, Just got a new computer and cannot get the mouse to work with X no matter what I try. The mouse is 3 buttons, PS/2 and labeled as a Logitech Mouseman. which mouse-type did you choose for gpm? I assume you chose ps2. The same protocol should work with X11. Do not choose the Mouseman protocol, AFIAK it's reserved for older (very old) Logitech mice. Did you restart X after making the changes to /etc/X11/XF86Config? How did you make the changes? Did you use a program like XF86Setup? XF86Setup lets you test the current mouse configuration by clicking on the apply button. What happens if you try to recreate the X configuration file from scratch using xf86config of XF86Setup?

Just asking some basic questions. Do you have ps/2 mice configured in the kernel? You should have a 'CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y' or 'CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m' in your kernel config file. If it is compiled in you should see something like the following during boot, 'Detected PS/2 Mouse Port.' Your Pointer section in XF86Config should minimally work with the following.
