A few days ago I posted a problem with testing beta4 where a Genius KYE wheelemouse behaved strangely under X even though the same mice work fine with other Debians and even the same machine with Knoppix for example.
It is for a rack machine where the idea is that a USB keyboard/mouse will be plugged in as and when and not when the thing boots.
I suspected my problems were to do with the kernel modules and was right, sort of.
I can get the mouse to behave properly by reloading mousedev and usbmouse when in a console (the script uses chvt to accomplish this otherwise the things won't unload) window before restarting X. But X does then need restarting (CTRL-ALT-BSP) rather than switching back to it. Then the USB mouse/mice can be (un)plugged anytime and everything behaves.
But as far as I can tell it's no good just loading the modules before X starts for the first time if a USB mouse hasn't yet been plugged in. Arggh.
Is hotplug installed?
You X config file needs a stanza for the mouse. This may work:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSectionThat's what drives my Logitech Optical.
