I can only guess that you use GNOME.

I don't use that, I use XFCE. But I have some suggestions below.

Also, please interleave or bottom post when you reply to debian-user
emails, thanks. Your reply (at the top above here) is called "top
posting". We do bottom posting (or interleaving) so that our email
discussions might be more useful to others in the future, when they
read the archives.

You could try installing gnome-control-center, if it's not installed
already. That might have a mouse config applet.

Alternatively, try installing gpointing-device-settings.

As a last resort you could try lxinput, although that is for LXDE
desktop, so may not be compatible with GNOME. YMMV of course.

I use a Logitech trackball, and manually add to this file:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

The following lines:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier  "Marble Mouse"
MatchProduct "Logitech USB Trackball"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 2"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "8"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection


But again, that's for a trackball, so you'd have to do some man-page
reading or web searching or something, to successfully do such a
manual config for your scroll wheel, which should Just Work(TM)(C) -
so hopefully you can find one of the above gui configurators for your
mouse.

Good luck
Zenaan

Wheel mouse

[Man_Without_Clue]

Hi all,

This too, I don't get any response from forums there and everywhere, so 
I throw it out here.


I have USB connected Elecom M-FW1ULWH mouse to my debian wheezy amd 64.

For some reason, wheel function is not working.

I guess debian fails to recognize this as regular wheel mouse. I wonder 
where I can adjust to make it work?


Anyone?

A.K.

What are you using as hypervisor? VMWare? VirtualBox? other?
This might be your hypervisor's fault, not the guest OS.

mouse type (previous postings elsewhere inidcate that was a fix) but to

"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" on the list to reconfigure x.  I'm not

I've spent the last half an hour trying to track down the problem.

At this moment, when my serial-port-mouse is being used, my
XF86Config-4 file looks like the one I posted in the first mail. When
I get the error message, my XF86Config-4 file looks the same, but I
comment out the parts mentioned in my first mail.

An improperly configured mouse section will result in the "no screens
found" error message. Try what is suggested above and let us know if it
fixes things. Again I am assuming you're using a ps/2 mouse not a serial
mouse.

Unable to add scroll-wheel mouse to xfree86

[Vegard|drageV]

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-4start---
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*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xfree86
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated

That's great Adam! I found this link which may be of use to others. What
do you think?
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mouse_Scrollwheel


Yes I'm sure it all helps. My mouse is just a simple logitech mouse - 
only 5 buttons - in that link they are talking about the 6th & 7th 
buttons! Who knows what you would use them for.

kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 breaks wheel mouse

[Sven Heinicke]

kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 version 2.6.7-2 breaks my wheel mouse.  Well,
all works on the mouse but the wheel confuses X by putting the mouse
off the screen.  kernel-image-2.6.6-2-686 version 2.6.6-2 works great
though.

I have a logitech M-S48 mouse running xserver-xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6,
in which the mouse is configured:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device""/dev/input/mice"
Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

I've tried a few other protocols, no luck.

Re: Re: Wheel Mouse

[Thomas Beresford]

I had a similar problem since I upgraded my kernel and installed the 
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run driver. I recently upgraded my 
2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel to 2.6.3-1-k7 kernel. I have an AMD Athlon processor
and a Nvidia Geforce 4 MX440 video card and a Genius NetScroll PS/2 mouse.
It used to be like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option  "Protocol"   "NetMousePS/2"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons""true"
Option  "ZAxisMapping""4 5"
EndSection

But since the upgrade, the configuration above doesn't work anymore.
The mouse pointer doesn't move correctly and it left/right clicks
randomly. So I changed the protocol from NetMousePS/2 to ImPS/2. Now it works
but it's not the same as before. The mouse pointer movement precision is
not good. Anybody knows what's the cause to the NetMouse protocol (which is the
correct protocol for Genius mice) not to work correctly now? 

PS: my XFree86 Version is 4.1.0.1

Sometimes, this is also needed:

 Option   "Buttons"   "5"

FYI, I see this dual entry o my laptops.
One entry is for a  USB mouse (/dev/input/mice) and one is for a PS/2 
mouse or on a laptop the touchpad. On a laptop you can use a USB mouse 
& touchpad at the same time. The 'Server Layout' section must list both 
also.

Wheel Mouse

[Krikket]

Folks, this is something that I've done before, but something is different
this time around that has me stumped.

Usually to get a the wheel on a mouse to run, it's just a matter of adding
one line.  Only in this case, the line is already there.

And for some reason that I don't understand, the mouse is defined *twice*
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.

Here's what I have:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device""/dev/psaux"
Option  "Protocol"  "PS/2"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Generic Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "SendCoreEvents""true"
Option  "Device""/dev/input/mice"
Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection


If I comment out either one of them, kdm refuses to start.  (Well, it does
start, as far as I can tell, it just doesn't give me a GUI.)  Commening
out the "Emulate3Buttons" in both of them has no effect.  (I seem to
remember that it conflicts with the ZAxisMapping.)

Any idea what's going on here?  This is a Sarge install using the Network
install Beta 3 on 3/28/04.

I'm thinking this is a bug in the installer, but I figured I'd check with
you guys before filing a report.

Thanks in advance!

Are you using the ImPS/2 driver? Do. Also, you'll want to add:

Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5" 

to your XF86Config file.

Google should give you tons of info on this. Have you tried it?

Hi jim,

Put this in section "inputdevice" from your XF86Config:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

hi all, i just bought a wheel mouse and the wheel doesn't work. I ran 
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, and I set the option in Mozilla 1.5 to use the wheel
but nothing happens when I spinn the wheel..  
I just recently dist-upgraded to testing, kernel-image-2.4.24-1-k6.

Problem fixed by reverting to an old version of XF86Config-4. Unfortunately 
due to fuzzy thinking and fumble fingers, I no longer have the version that 
caused the problem, so I cannot guess what the change was that caused the 
problem. However the Mouse configuration entries were the same between the

I had this problem.  Got it fixed by simple deleting 
/lib/modules/*..*/usbmouse.o (and restarted X)
This module was getting loaded by the system, but when it was
present the mouse didn't work right.  I think I have a different mouse,
  (Microsoft Wireless USB Intellimouse Explorer "7" button wheelmouse)

I tried gobs of stuff only thing that worked was getting rid of 
usbmouse.o (and then restarted X).

Embarassingly easy.  Thanks.  I suppose I was being a bit wet about that 
little problem because I didn't care much -- truth is I never used a wheel 
mouse at all before.  Still, it is quite neat.  Might get to quite like it. 
So, thanks again.

Richard,
  To make the wheel work under X change your /etc/X11/XF86Config file so
that the line in the Pointer section that now reads:
   Protocol"ps/2"

change it to:
   Protocol"imps/2"


And restart X

This is debian, and this is mutt (1.5.4-1), and there is *only* one (1)
mention each of  and  in /etc/Muttrc -- and, those are *both*
commented OUT:

   # grep -i '<\(down\|up\)>' /etc/Muttrc ~/.muttrc
   /etc/Muttrc:# bind pager  previous-line
   /etc/Muttrc:# bind pager  next-line

Now that you state the common meaning of ^[OA and ^[OB, I am clear what
it is that I need to do.

Well, based on the behaviour of your script, it appears that you have
mapped this way:

   bind index  previous-entry
   bind index  next-entry

   bind pager  previous-line
   bind pager  next-line

Actually, although *none* of these are debian/mutt defaults, nor are
_any_ of these used in default debian/mutt:

   # grep -i '\(next\|previous\)-\(entry\|line\)' /etc/Muttrc
   # bind pager  previous-line
   # bind pager  next-line

I *DO* prefer your setup, and -- best of all -- now that I understand
what you are doing, it has been producing my desired behaviour
consistently since yesterday evening.

Yes, I agree that that is annoying, although it is a quite rare
situation for me.  Rather, to me -- IMHO -- my issue with case sensitive
alphabetic sorting is considerably more common, and also considerably
more annoying.  Do you have a solution that meets both criteria?

Yes, I will eat crow here.  My muttrc has:

bind pager  previous-line
bind pager  next-line

And it's been there so long that I'd forgotten it was there.  It's not him
who's changed the defaults, it's me.

/me puts on the dunce cap.  Apologies.

With my configuration that results in the previous or next message being
displayed, not a scrolling of the message.

Right the "arrow" keys, which for most will change messages, by default.

It doesn't?  What do you think this does?

,: string("OA") \n\
,: string("OB")\n\ ' \

That says "when you see a Btn4Down event followed by a Btn4Up event, send
Escape+O+A to the window".  That's UP.

It also says "when you see a Btn5Down event followed by a Btn5Up event,
send Escape+O+B to the window".  That's DOWN.

It doesn't matter whether mutt is in the index or the pager.  The arrow
keys are being sent to it... what it does with them is its own business.

Now... if you've told mutt to *ignore* the arrow keys, or you're using them
for something else, then no, this wouldn't do what you expect.  Make it
send whatever YOU need it to send.  Make it send the less_than and
greater_than keys, if that's what you've configured mutt to use for
scrolling.

The fact that you think the arrow keys only work in the index makes it more
plain that you've remapped them somehow for the pager.

Who said that was what I was after?  The en_US locale ignores punctuation
characters in a sort, which means that:

 1 -rw-rw  1 mwilson  mail   151361 Sep 07 17:10 /var/spool/mail/mwilson

 5   N -rw---  1 mwilson  mwilson   2731866 Sep 06 17:30 =bugtraq-ml

ends up looking like:

 1   N -rw---  1 mwilson  mwilson  15257655 Sep 07 17:40 =blackbox-ml
 2   N -rw---  1 mwilson  mwilson   2731866 Sep 06 17:30 =bugtraq-ml

 5 -rw-rw  1 mwilson  mail   151361 Sep 07 17:10 /var/spool/mail/mwilson

Which would be fine if there weren't any mailboxes after 'j', but there
are.  It's ANNOYING.

I think you've got things confused between mutt and the xterm it's running
in and who has control of and who's listening to the mouse.  I think you've
reconfigured the default keybindings in mutt such that the arrow keys do
not scroll single lines in the pager.  I think that you've got some
application or process not yet described that modifies the X resource
database and alters in some way the settings for the xterm you're running
mutt in.

One idea is to start another xterm -n mutt that isn't actually running
mutt, and see if you get << and >> as expected. Another is to try xev and
see if you are actually getting events for the scroll wheel. It's possible
that something is capturing the events before they can get to the xterm
window.

No, while is is working, your suggestion does _exactly_ as I desire.
The problem, of course, is that this behaviour is short lived, and I

AFAIK, I'm the one who came up with this X resource hack in the first
place. It works, but not because mutt pays any attention to it. It only
works in a genuine xterm, however, which has been started with -n mutt or
-T mutt (which is what makes it pick up resources for mutt.vt100).

Check to see whether you are always using an xterm invoked with the title
and/or icon set to mutt. It won't pick up the resources otherwise. If you
really find that such an xterm still doesn't work, see whether appres mutt
gives you the expected resources. If not, something is changing your
resources behind your back and you should find out what.

What I really, really want to do with the mouse is to use the scroll
wheel to _slowly_ page up and page down -- one line at a time -- in the
pager while reading _l-l-l-o-o-o-n-n-n-g-g-g_ messages.  Your suggestion

Well, that's not going to work.  Mutt is a console-mode application, and
doesn't participate in the X resource database.  What you want to do is
direct resource changes to the xterm you're running it in.

Take a look at the attached... perhaps it does what you want.

Actually, what I found was that ~/.Xdefaults has been deprecated for
quite some years.  Currently, ~/.Xresources is supported for user
customizations.

Beyond that, I continue to be stymied!

When I logout of X, in my case kde, and logon again, the scroll wheel
does work.  After some intermittent time, usually the scroll behaviour
_changes_ to scrolling the entire terminal window, rather than just the
mail message, as is desired and is the initial behaviour.

Then, sadder still, after some more intermittent time, the scroll
behaviour *stops* entirely.

I have not found any solution, nor further troubleshooting suggestions.
Should you find a solution to this problem, please, post it for
posterity . . .

Well, for this bit of the problem, the solution is to set the bindings
in your ~/.muttrc. In my case, I want the up and down arrow keys to
move up and down, so I've got things like

bind generic  previous-line
bind generic  next-line
bind pager  previous-line
bind pager  next-line
bind index  previous-entry
bind index  next-entry

You can try out muttrc settings from within mutt by using : to enter
the muttrc command.

As for the mouse, I use imwheel to translate my scroll wheel events
into keypress events. So once you've got your bindings working you
then tell imwheel to turn wheel movement into the relevant keys and
off you go. You can reconfigure and restart imwheel without having to
restart X.

Wheel mouse with mutt

[Bill Moseley]

Trying to get the mouse wheel to work in the Mutt pager or index 
screens.

I found a few google hits on the subject but I can't make it work.


.Xdefaults:

   mutt.vt100.translations:  #override \n\
None:  string(<<) \n\
None:  string(>>) \n

Any suggestions?

You may have accidentally installed GPM and did not configure

Despite other posters despise GPM, I love it.

All you have to do is to let the X read from repeater.

Re: PS 2 Wheel Mouse Problem

you wrote it yourself but it says "Generated by dexconf" at the top? 
What I did was remove those lines saying ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION
and END... then I removed all references to the "Generic Mouse" even in
the "Server Layout" section. And I made a
Option  "SendCoreEvents""true"
entry to my "Configured Mouse"... also make sure you didnt accidentally
install "gpm" along the way
ps -A | grep gpm

You only need one of the above sections.  
Device="/dev/input/mice" is for USB mice.
Device="/dev/psaux" is for PS/2 mice.
(I would expect that a 2-button mouse is PS/2 rather than USB)

Also, for a 2-button mouse, the protocol should be "PS/2"
("ImPS/2" is for wheel mice).

Hope this helps...

I would get rid of one of these 2 sections. if your using
a PS/2 mouse get rid of the second section.

Also check to be sure GPM is not running, I reccomend removing
it completely unless you have a specific use for it:

apt-get remove gpm

your using the nv driver not the nvidia driver? Question: does
the mouse freeze or does the whole X session freeze? that is,
can you CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to kill/restart X or not? If not,
then maybe its a nv driver bug.

I'd also remove the Generic Mouse entry from above to corrispond
with the removal of the section

And I reccomend backing up your config file before doing this
so you can undo it easily if needed.

Also are you using a KVM? many KVMs don't like wheels. even my
KVM which the manual says it supports wheels, I've only got it
to run with a wheel once or twice, and the rest of the time the
wheel doesn't seem to work. so I hookup a 2nd pointer, a cordless
USB trackball to my main desktop so I can use the wheel on it.

PS 2 Wheel Mouse Problem

[Christian Banik]

Dear Debian Users, 
 
i've got problems with my wheel mouse. I wrote the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file 
myself (no concept of some of the entries there)in parts.  
It worked 2 weeks very good, but now the mouse arrow freeze after 30 seconds 
under X11. I've added my XF86 Config file, perhaps you see my mistake. The 
configured and generic mouse are both necessary i realized. 
Under SuSE the same mouse is OK, so it's not a hardware problem 
 
Thanks a lot Christian

Only the ZAxisMapping option was missing. Imwheel is not needed. Thank

I think that if you follow the other suggestions for ImPS2 and button
mapping for 4 5 that you will get your mouse to work.  You said
optical and only HP/Agilent makes the internals for those so I expect
them all to be the same regardless of who OEM'd it and put their label
on it.  At that time you might find that imwheel is getting in your
way.  Which is exactly the route I took myself when doing the same
thing you are now doing.

The imwheel package is to interpret mouse events and map them into
something else.  For example, older netscape does not know about
button 4 and 5 and therefore does not handle wheel mouse.  The imwheel
program will translate button 4/5 (wheel) into page-up/page-down keys
which the program does know about.

But it only caused be trouble since Mozilla, Galeon, Konqueror, xterm,
etc. all understand the mouse.  There is a imwheel configuration file
which you should be able to configure to pass through to some programs
but not others but I would never get it set right.  Therefore I
removed imwheel and can't recommend it unless you have a special need
for it such as an obsolete program with no understandings of button
4/5 (wheel) events.

This is the important part - it's using the IntelliMouse protocol, but
should work with most wheel mice (works with my logitech just fine).

If you configure X with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, you can select
'enable scrolling for mouse wheel' or somesuch and be kosher..

Try adding this option:
Option  "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

and you may need to change your protocol to:
Option  "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

I haven't tried any other protocols for wheeled mice.  However, I can tell
you that imwheel is _not_ needed with XFree86 v4.x

wheel mouse

[Mirek Dobsicek]

Hi,

I've new optical mouse Genius NetScroll+ eye. My XF86Config-4 has this 
section:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier  "Elf optical mouse"
 Driver  "mouse"
 Option  "CorePointer"
 Option  "Device""/dev/psaux"
 Option  "Protocol"  "NetMousePS/2"
EndSection

Mouse move ok, wheel acts as middle button ok, but it does not scroll 
(I'd like to scroll in mozilla and gnome-terminal). I'm running Sarge 
with Gnome 1.4 on kernel 2.4.18.

What's wrong and can be better?

Re: wheel mouse wheel not working

[Vikki Roemer]

Thanks!
It turns out that the reason those settings weren't working in the first 
place was because gpm was messing up the mouse.  As long as I remember 
to find and kill gpm, the mouse works perfectly.

Thanks for your help.

Hi again!
No wonder our files look different than yours, you are using a very old

 Protocol   "IMPS/2"
 Device "/dev/psaux"
 SampleRate 60
 BaudRate   1200
 ZAxisMapping  45

And it used to work in Debian, Slackware, SuSE, Storm, Mandrake and

Re: wheel mouse wheel not working

[Vikki Roemer]

When I went into XF86Setup, it said I was using /dev/gpmdata , but when 
I opened XF86Config, it said I'm using /dev/mouse .  I would've checked 
XF86Config last night, but at first it couldn't find it, and once it 
finally did find it, it wouldn't let me open it.


BTW, that version number is correct only if the manpage is up-to-date. 
I don't know how to find the version number any  other way.


Anyway, on to the update.  I went into XF86Setup a few minutes ago and 
tried tweaking some of the mouse settings and found out that: /dev/psaux 
doesn't work at all; Setup still insists that the device is /dev/gpmdata 
even though the config file (which, I assume, is what actually matters?) 
states otherwise; the IMPS/2 protocol doesn't work; and all hell breaks 
loose if I set the Emulate3Timeout to 0.


BTW,  assuming I have the version number correct, how do I get a more 
up-to-date version of XFree86?   I have the Potato version of Debian, 
and the only version of XF86 that dselect has listed is the one I 
already have.


Thanks for all your help so far!

I notice you said you were using /dev/gpmdata. IMO, that's the right
thing to do. It's the only thing to do if you also want to be able to
use your mouse on the text consoles as well as in X. If not, just remove
gpm and use /dev/psaux. To keep gpm around and use X, and use the wheel,
make your gpm.conf look like this:


device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=imps2
append=""
sample_rate=

and set X to use ImPS/2 on /dev/gpmdata

good times,
Vineet

By the way: with the older versins of the XF86 server (before 4.*) you
need to have the imwheel program installed and if I remember it right I
think that it needs to be started manually the first time. Just write
imwheel at a promt and it starts. 
I even think that you need to put a imwheel & into some init file to
meke it start every time you log into X but perhaps someone else
remembers this better than me??

thing to do. It's the only thing to do if you also want to be able to
use your mouse on the text consoles as well as in X. If not, just remove
gpm and use /dev/psaux. To keep gpm around and use X, and use the wheel,
make your gpm.conf look like this:


device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=imps2
append=""
sample_rate=

and set X to use ImPS/2 on /dev/gpmdata

good times,
Vineet

Hello and welcome to Debian!  It's a little tough in the beginning, but
it does eventually get easier as you understand how to work with the

You might post your XF86Config-4 with the exact input section that your
mouse is in.  That helps a lot.

With a wheel mouse, you don't need any of the emulate 3 mouse buttons
(since you have 3 mouse buttons).  Also, to get scrolling, you will want
to add a line like:

Option  "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Which reminds me... what version of XFree86 are you using?  I'm using
4.1.  Here is my mouse section for my USB mouse:

Hi!
You do not need the IMWheel program installed. I have this very same
mouse, in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 the pointer part looks like
this:
--
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device""/dev/psaux"
Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

The mouse works beautifully in most applications.

Re: wheel mouse wheel not working

[Vikki Roemer]

In XF86Setup, the settings are: mouse protocol: IntelliMouse (that was what
IMWheel said to set it for; I had it set for PS/2 originally, but the mouse 
acted
like it was on  drugs.  Both the IntelliMouse and the Microsoft protocols work);
device: /dev/gpmdata (also according to the IMW instructions.  I had had it set 
to
/dev/mouse previously, and it worked normally (it didn't malfunction, but the
wheel still didn't work)); 3 button emulation is turned off (IMW said to turn it
off so tthat the program would work); resolution is set to "high"; the baud rate
is 1200; under "Buttons", the "3" radio button is selected; sample rate is 0;
Emulate3Timeout is 50.

wheel mouse wheel not working

[Vikki Roemer]

Hi!
I've been using Debian for about a week now, and during that time I've
been trying to get my mouse to work properly,  but I can't.

I have a PS/2 Microsoft Wheel Mouse.  Since it's possible to click with
the wheel button as well as scroll, I was hoping I could use it as a
third button as well as a scroll wheel.  However, I can't even get the
wheel to even scroll, much less click.

I downloaded and installed IMWheel, and followed the instuctions, but it
still doesn't work.  I've also read everything I can find about
configuring mice, but nothing has been helpful.  Maybe I'm just not
understanding the instructions?  (This is all pretty heavy-duty for
someone who just came from Windows 9x (but it's worth it), so it's
highly likely that I'm just misunderstanding most of the manuals.)

Any help would be greatly  appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,
Vikki Roemer

but all is not good!

does the above imply any changes to XF86Config??  like ZaxisMapping "4 5"
and does it imply xf86 v3 or v4??

Make sure that when you  run the gpm-config script that you specify the repeat 
type to 'raw', then you can edit XF86Config to read from the mouse device /dev/
gpmdata with a PS/2 protocol.

Well, I was not being perfectly honest.

On the machine that I am typing this message on it seems I can have
gpm and X co-exist quite peacefully, but I still set up X to read of
/dev/gpmdata (I installed woody on this home made machine last week,
so I figured I'd do it "right," whatever that means).

However, on a laptop I have (a Compaq Armada M300) I can't seem to get
gpm and X to share the built in PS/2 mouse, so I simply turned off GPM
in the X run levels I invented (though I could have gpm do the repeat
thing to /dev/gpmdata, frankly though, I never miss gpm).

It seems the gpm/X mouse sharing is a pretty hardware specific thing,
but I'm always open to an education on it :-)

Cheers!
Shyamal

Interesting. I have them both working off the same device and have no such 
problem.  Its a usb MS optical (intellimouse)

Here is the running gpm process:
/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2

Here is a couple of my XF86Config-4 lines for the mouse:
 Option  "Device""/dev/input/mice"
 Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"

And gpm runs while X is running:
/etc/rc2.d/S20gpm

I have a feeling that such problems also relate to using the wrong settings 
for gpm. (wrong protocol etc)  but don't know a lot about it.  But I had a 
similar problem once (not on debian) that was solved by making gpm use the 
imps2 protocol for that particular mouse.

all the best,
Robert_L

Johan> why my mouse stops working under X when I install gpm.

Johan,

I have a Logitech USB wheel mouse. I have my mouse set up like this in
XF86Config-4 :

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Configured Mouse"
Driver  "mouse"
Option  "CorePointer"
Option  "Device""/dev/gpmdata"
Option  "Protocol"  "ImPS/2"
Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

The ImPS/2 mouse seems to support mouse buttons 4 and 5. To use this
you need to have GPM running in raw mode (or some mode where it
repeats data to /dev/gpmdata), so my /etc/gpm.conf reads:

device=/dev/input/mice
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=imps2
append=""
sample_rate=



I guess you could use /dev/psaux for a PS2 mouse and so on

The reason X stops working when you install (rather, start) gpm is
that you probably have X and gpm reading off the same device.

You can solve this in two ways, one is to not run gpm in run levels
where X is running (basically remove all those S20gpm links in
/etc/rcN.d/ where N = 2...5, you can use update-rc.d to do this, or do
it by hand). I use this method on my laptop.

The other way is to make them play together, which is to use gpm to
repeat to /dev/gpmdata and read off there. Of course, if you lose gpm
then you lose your X mouse and so on..(you could have two mouse
entries in XF86Config-4, but I've found that makes my mouse move far
too quickly!).

Good luck,
Shyamal

use a proggie called 'imwheel' to get your mousewheel running under X. before
you download it, two things:

1) do this in your home directory: 'touch .imwheelrc'

2) edit  (in your home directory) your .xinitrc file with your favorite
text-mode editor (like vi, or pico) and add the line 'imwheel &'  - without the
quotes of course

restart X and all should be good



about gpm...you can run gpm and X...use gpmconfig as root and play with the
settings...usually you don't have to change much!

good luck!

Well... I restarted the xserver and it crashed. Perhaps there is any 
combination of this option and the other settings, as the protocol, 
that works OK, I'll keep trying.

Check /usr/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.mouse.gz, there is a complete 
list of mice and the protocols that work with them. Perhaps you can try 
with some of those protocols.

Thanks, Nathan.  That confirms most of what I have been seeing.  I set it up as 
per yours above, and it works like a dam.  Wiping out gpm helped, I think.  One 
weird (?) thing I noticed that probably caused much of the problem was the 
presence of two mice in XF86Config-4: a generic and the Logitech.  Both were 
listed as live.  Naturally, I have it set for one only.

Thanks for the assistance.

Hello,
I've tried rebooting using gpm with the protocal imps2. Setting gpm to imps2 
makes it bounce around the consol. Is it possible that it's not a imps2 
mouse? It's got a wheel and it's plugged into the ps2 port!

If you're talking about the Logitech Optical Mouse, I have several and
with one exception found them easy to set up and get working.

My XF86Config-4 has

  Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier  "Logitech Optical Mouse M-BJ58"
  Driver  "mouse"
  Option  "Buttons""5"
  Option  "CorePointer"

However, I did have one machine with an el-cheapo athlon motherboard
that would freak out if the optical mouse was plugged into it, usb or
ps/2.  What was really strange is that this problem occurred in linux 
and Win2k, and not with other mice! Finally I got pawned that system
board off to someone who uses an intellimouse (and windows) instead.

Did you reboot afterward?  I had this problem after switching gpm and X
to use imps/2 instead of ps/2, but it's been working fine ever since
the box was rebooted.  Something not being properly re-initialized, I
expect...

So what are your settings?  I have one on my kids' machine, and it is as

Re: Wheel mouse DIFFERENT PROBLEM

[Greg Murphy]

Hello,

I've been following this thread, and was hoping it would help me to get my 
wheel mouse working. I have a Fellowes Gel Mouse (PS/2). Here is the 
important section in my XF86Config file:

Section "Pointer"
Protocol"ps/2"
Device  "/dev/mouse"
ZAxisMapping4 5
Buttons 5
BaudRate1200
#Emulate3Timeout 50
Resolution  100
#Emulate3Buttons
EndSection

I have tried changing ps/2 to imps/2, but that makes the mouse go crazy on 
the screen. /dev/mouse points to /dev/psaux and gpm is NOT running. Anyone 
have this particular mouse and have any luck getting it to work? I was able 
to get the wheel working for this mouse for slackware quite some time ago, so 
I know that it is possible. I am currently running Debian-Testing and the 
mouse works fine except for the wheel. Any help would be much appreciated! 
Thanks. 

-Greg Murphy

I just bought one and the wheel also doesn't work. My other machine has
a Logitech optical which does work.

Re: wheel mouse

[Nathan]

In all the posts i have seen so far there hasn't been a suggestion for

Option "Buttons""5"

this is what i have for my mouse:

when i type  gpmconfig i get
Device: /dev/psaux
Type: imps2
Repeat_Type: raw

and in XF86Config-4

Selection "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse1"
Driver"mouse"
Option "Protocol""IMPS/2"
Option"Device"  "/dev/gpmdata"
Option"ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
Option"Buttons""5"

all of this works well for me in that combination.
I hope this will be able to help you.

Well, I've changed 

gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 -Rms3

to

gpm -m /dev/psaux -t autops2 -Rraw

And here comes the funniest part: either I set the protocol to 
"NetMousePS/2" or "IMPS/2", the wheel now works... ONLY FORWARDS !!
I mean, the scroll works as sliding down the scrollbar, not as 
sliding up.
After spending (investing?) the whole evening trying to hack this (and 
some audio issues and a little perl script), I consider my hacking day 
finished. Now it's time for a beer, perhaps tomorrow I'll have more 
luck.

Thanks everybody for your help !!

Aha!  This makes no end of sense.  Your mouse is plugged into the PS/2
port, and gpm gets the input from it via /dev/psaux.  gpm then converts
the input from the mouse into Microsoft mouse format and passes it on to
X via /dev/mouse aka /dev/gpmdata.  Since it is the Microsoft mouse
format, X goes insane when you specify the IMPS/2 protocol, which looks
nothing like the Microsoft mouse protocol, and the scroll wheel never
works, because the Microsoft mouse protocol doesn't support them.

The fix should be simple - reconfigure gpm and change the repeat type
from "ms3" to "raw", which should then just pass on everything via
/dev/gpmdata to X.  You then change the X configuration back to IMPS/2,
which will then correctly recognize the scroll wheel.

Alternatively, if you don't need the mouse at the text console, you
could remove gpm.  I got berated for suggesting that to someone else a
week or so ago, but I note that the person who berated me for suggesting
that has spent the entire time between then and now trying to help
someone else get gpm working, and has not yet succeeded.  If you do
remove gpm, then /dev/mouse should be a link to /dev/psaux.

In either case, you then change the X configuration back to IMPS/2 and
set the ZAxisMapping and Emulate3Buttons lines as suggested before,
which will then correctly recognize the scroll wheel because it's
getting the raw data from the mouse, including the scroll wheel events.

HTH,

I've been half-following this thread for the past two days, yet I've
never seen this mentioned so I figured I'd throw it out there. You said
you had a Genius NetMouse right? There's a "netmouse" option available
in gpm that you might want to take a look at. I'm not sure if X has an
equivalent setting for it or not, but if it doesn't you can always try
having gpm repeat ImPS/2 and using ImPS/2 in X. Just a thought.

Well, in fact gpm _is_ running. Using ps -ax I see it's started as:

gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 -Rms3

But the "device" in XF86Config-4 is "/dev/mouse" which in fact is a 
link to /dev/gpmdata. I'm completely puzzled... I'll try to look for 
and read about the relationships between gpm and the xserver. Thanks 
for your help !

Right now the protocol is set to "Microsoft". I tried changing it to 
"IMPS/2" and the pointer movement got completely crazy and unusable.

Hi !

I've searched through the archives looking for the correct 
configuration of a three wheel mouse (in my case, it's a Genius Optical 
NetScroll+ Eye PS/2)


This is what I currently have (working well except for the wheel):

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "Mouse1"
   Driver   "mouse"
   Option "Protocol""IMPS/2"
   Option "Device"  "/dev/mouse"
#Option "Emulate3Buttons"
   Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Try commenting out the Emulate line (you have three buttons, so you 
don't need to emulate a third button). The IMPS/2 and ZAxisMapping line 
activate the scroll wheel. This assumes you're not running gpm and that 
/dev/mouse is a link to your actual mouse device (reasonable assumption, 
since you say it works well with your original configuration).

Which protocol are you using now?
I switched mine from ps/2 to ImPS/2
the device stayed at /dev/psaux because I'm
using the same port as my old mouse did

sorry, http://koala.ilog.fr/
I just verified it.
