The lines on the SUN mouse-mats that work with these mice are also different colours (horizontal were black and vertical lines were a dark blue) - one's transparent to IR and not to red light, and the other is transparent to red and not to IR. cheers k -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

Hello > I printed out the mouse mat, but the cursor doesn't move when > I move the mouse. I used Sun's optical mice about 5-6 years ago, so I'm refering to technology from way back when. >From memory the mouse mats were a grid on a shiny metal pad. They depended on these mats, and would not work on other surfaces. This is unlike the ones you can buy for your PC now. > > Perhaps I should mention that there's only one LED shining > out the bottom.

I know that it depends on the LED reflecting off the mat and detecting that, but I cant remember if there were two alight or one send and one detect. I think it ws two alight.

It's just a grid.. a shiny one mind you, but still a grid.. so it should work.. //umar. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

No - this is normal for a sun mouse. -- --==-- Crossfire | This email was brought to you [EMAIL PROTECTED] | on 100% Recycled Electrons --==-- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Sun optical mice
I wonder if someone can help me get my Sun optical mouse working? I finally got around to trying out X on my SparcStation LX today and had some trouble with the mouse. Firstly - what should the protocol be set to in XF86Config? The kernel driver message said "Sun Mouse-Systems mouse driver version 1.00", so I set it to MouseSystems. I printed out the mouse mat, but the cursor doesn't move when I move the mouse. Perhaps I should mention that there's only one LED shining out the bottom. There are two holes in the bottom with LED-type devices in them. Only one shines and they're not close together. Is this faulty? thanks, bye -- 8<8<8<8<8<8<8< Ian Tester *8)# \7\LINUX: because geeks will find a way [EMAIL PROTECTED] \7\ http://www.zipworld.com.au/~imroy -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
