Re: XF86Setup/Mouse Device
Dennis Dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 1) I have succesfully installed XFree86 and am now attempting to run the XF86Setup routine. In trying to get the mouse to work it appears to me all I should have to do is select one of the 'devices' and hit 'apply'. However, I tried all possible device options and none got a response from the mouse. (The mouse says Microsoft right on it, so I assume 'Microsoft' is the correct protocol. I tried different protocols with the 'inbortbm' device and still got nothing.) I'm a newbie too but I just solved this problem. My mouse also is the ``Microsoft'' brand but is a ``PS/2'' type mouse; check your mouse/motherboard manuals. Also, when I selected the correct configuration (see following excerpt from my /etc/X11/XConfig) XF86Setup STILL didn't show any response from the mouse. My guess is that poking around with all the wrong settings screwed things up. . . ? # ** # Pointer section # ** Section Pointer ProtocolPS/2 Device /dev/psmouse Hope this helps.
