I have spent the last 24 hours grappling with a problem in configuring KDE 2.2 and X 4.2.19 to use my mouse. I have gone through the default configurations after installing them via apt. The pointer merely remains in the center of the screen while X/KDE loads at start-up, and remains non-functional through logging in via the GUI. This is a generic 3 button mouse, made (or branded by) General Electric.
Here the relevant part of my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (made by xf86config)
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"I have set this to /dev/psaux as well with no luck, the mouse pointer remains in the middle of the screen. After reading through several messages in the archive, I apt-get'd gpm and configured that as well, using the defaults. Here's that current (/etc/gpm.conf) config file.
device=/dev/mouse responsiveness= repeat_type=ms3 type=autops2 append="" sample_rate=
Also, I would like to know how to disable X/KDE from starting up if I have to do anything involving either of those two applications such as X -configure or some such. Then again, I'm not really sure what I am doing with these files aside from linking device files (mouse is symbolically linked to gpmdata). And yes, I am doing all of these from root. If there is someone whom had the same problem as I and I missed the message, could you please link me to the archive or whatever search terms you used to find it. Thank you very much.
