At this moment the default xserver-xorg debconf template in Feisty always manually configures a mouse with these options in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Normally Xorg should be able to autodetect the protocol of a PS/2 or USB mouse using /dev/input/mice by putting protocol to "auto", can you try this. It would be nice if you could provide the following information: 1. How is your mouse connected to your PC: serial, PS/2, USB, USB wireless, ... For a USB mouse include the relevant output of the command lsusb on a terminal. What mechanism does your mouse use: ball mouse, optical, trackball, ... How many physical buttons and scrollwheels does you mouse have? 2. Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the mouse protocol to: Option "Protocol" "auto" 3. Restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. 4. Provide the output of the following command on a terminal: $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i "configured mouse" -- Misdetection of Logitech Mouse M-BA47 as ExplorerPS/2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/58645 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
