Hi list,
from a previous thread I got hints on how to add a Logitech Mouse with
a scrollerwheel to the xfree86 system by running 'dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86' or by manually editing /etc/X11/XF86config-4.
I've tried both, and either way the new mouse still doesn't work.
Using dpkg, I used these menu alternatives:
-psaux as the connection point
-ImPS/2 protocol
-With scrollerwheel
My original XF86config-4 file looks like this (with simple 2-button
mouse in /dev/ttyS0):
-----------------------XF86config-4--------start-------------------
hjem:/home/vegard# cat /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
# XF86Config-4 (XFree86 X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page.
# (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xfree86 package upgrades *only*

I comment out the following section like this:
#Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "Configured Mouse"
# Driver "mouse"
# Option "CorePointer"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
# Option "Protocol" "Microsoft"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
#EndSection
and comment out the line in ' Section "ServerLayout" ' like this:
# InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
The result is that X- will not start, where startx gives this errormessage:

In the previous thread, "Changing mouse (newbie question)", I was
given some hints on how to google more efficently, but I have not
found this problem other places. Please excuse me if I'm asking
somthing that has been asked before, it was not my intention.
Thanks for the help in advance, cheers Vegard.
