Hello,
I realize that I am going to show my ignorance here, but how can I learn
otherwise? I understand that on boot up linux is looking for a usb mouse, and
that I have to change the file like it says below, but what I can't figure out
is how do I gain access to this file.
Do I do it during setup or can I access it from windows. I can't figure it
out.
Jason
Below you will see the previous query with a previous reply.
You sent:
You'll want to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config. Look for a section that looks
like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
Make sure the Identifier is Mouse0 (there will also be a Mouse1
section), and change the IMPS/2 to PS/2, then save the file. Also, make
sure the Option "Device" line has "/dev/psaux" on the end instead of
"/dev/input/mice". If you did this in the graphical interface, hit
CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE a couple times to restart X-Windows and it should
work.
