Mouse problem

[satimis]

Hi folks,

Gentoo_64
gnome-light
2 buttons, centre wheel mouse.

Ran following steps to update the PC;
emerge --sync
emerge --update --deep --newuse world
emerge --depclean
revdep-rebuild
etc-update
env-update

On running;
emerge --update --deep --newuse world

"java-config" conflicted with another package. Then I ran
emerge --unmerge java-config

to remove it.

After completing all abovementioned steps, ran;
emerge java-config

to reinstall the package.

Now the mouse wheel seems out of control. Turning the wheel it scrolls continously a while before coming to a stop. Dragging the right-slide bar with mouse pointer does not slide smoothly but jumping.

Please advise where should I check to correct this problem. TIA

Look for your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for mouse settings. They are device dependent though. Try changing the module you are using or the parameters set.

Hi apoorv_khurasia,

Look for your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for mouse settings.

Followings are on xorg.conf concerning mouse;

.......
    InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"

# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
#   Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"	# PS/2 Mouse
#   Option "Protocol"	 "PS/2"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
#   Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Device"	 "/dev/psaux"

    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5 6 7"

    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"

EndSection

I haven't made any change on it before and after "update"

Try changing the module you are using or the parameters set.

Sorry, I can't follow. Please advise what shall I change. TIA

# cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep MOUSE

CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL is not set
# CONFIG_MOUSE_VSXXXAA is not set
# CONFIG_USB_IDMOUSE is not set

I'm now running a wireless mouse with its receiver connected to USB port. I also tried running a USB mouse as well as plugging the same to PS/2 port via an adapter. Results are the same w/o any change/improvement
