X.org mouse config?

I have 2 mice, one works one doesn't.

The one that doesn't work is a usb "wireless intellimouse explorer" It has 7 buttons (scroller counts as 3, up, down, push)

I can't figure out which protocol to use. Whatever I try the mouse either jumps to the corners and stays there, or I can move the mouse *okay* but only up-down, not left-right.

I know the problem is with the MouseUSB, because if I comment that out in my ServerLayout, my first mouse works fine.

What Protocol do I need for my second mouse?

xorg.conf

Code:

Section "InputDevice" # Identifier and driver Identifier "MouseUSB" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"#"IntelliMousePS/2" #"auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Buttons" "7" #5 Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" #4 5 EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Simple Layout" Screen "Screen 1" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "MouseUSB" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection

Maybe this boot output will help

Code:

[jake@localhost: ~]$ dmesg | grep usb usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs usb.c: registered new driver hub usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x45e/0x59) is not claimed by any active driver. usb.c: registered new driver usbmouse input0: Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer® 1.0A on usb2:2.0 usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver usb.c: registered new driver hiddev usb.c: registered new driver hid

Keep in mind, I'm running Slackware and I've never tried to set up a 7 button mouse.
The first change I'd make would be to change the protocol to IMPS/2. Then, I'd make a change to the ServerLayout. Make "SendCoreEvents" "AlwaysCore".
Also, make sure you have the values correct for ZAxisMapping. You might try "4 5" instead of "6 7".

I'm also running slackware. :)

I just tried protocol IMPS/2 then I tried ExplorerPS/2. Neither worked.

Code:

Section "InputDevice" Identifier "MouseUSB" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"#"IntelliMousePS/2" #"auto" #Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" #usb microsoft intellimouse explorer wireless Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" #not needed? EndSection Section "ServerLayout" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" #ps/2 mouse that works InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" #jake added: usb mouse InputDevice "MouseUSB" "SendCoreEvents" #USB mouse doesn't work EndSection

I know the wheel will not be scrolling, but once I get the correct protocol, I can use

Code:

$ xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

To get the wheel to scroll.

Here's the logs,

Code:

They don't appear to have anything wrong...

Maybe I need to update my kernel/kernel modules? I found this when searching, I don't know what it means:

Attention!

ehci-hcd is no enough driver support to get the wheel working whit sis usb controller.
You have to compile ohci-hcd too, with both every thing works find with IMPS/2 drivers.

It is true for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernel.
Have fun!

p.s. It is probably the same whit Via chips using uhci-hcd.

This is definately so, because ehci is only for USB 2.0, ohci and uhci only for 1.*.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.

What is usbmouse? Some reason if I remove that module, my mouse now works...

Is it too old or something? I'm using slack10 but I haven't updated my kernel 2.4.26
