I have installed Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 rl "Woody" Official i386. The
installation is not as graphic as some but it got the job done without a lot
of trouble, except for one item. The mouse did not work. It is an off the
shelf Logitech PS/2 mouse with a wheel. There is nothing wrong with the
mouse, I tested it on the Windows, which will dual boot on the same machine.
This is the first time I have not been able to get a common or garden variety
mouse to work on a linux OS and I have installed a whole variety of them over
the years. Two members of this list have been very kind with their help but
the problem is still there.
Following is my XF86Config-4 set up for the mouse:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
End Section
Section "ServerLayout"
[... more blah ...]
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
[... more blah ...]
EndSection
gpm was installed by me but has since been removed. The result either way was
the same.
If I enter at the command line: cat /dev/psaux <enter> then move the mouse, it
will write garbage to the screen with the movement of the mouse.
Any help would be appreciated,
Bill.
