Microsoft USB Wireless Optical Mouse NOT WORKING

[ljepava]

I have a Microsoft USB Wireless Optical Mouse (Intellipoint). I tried the usb protocol --not working; same with auto and PS/2. The reciever is hooked up by usb. iam using slackware 10.1

help plz

i had the same problem. instead of hooking it into a USB, i used the little PS/2 adapter and then got into a command line and typed: xorgconfig

that brought up all the X config stuff. then where it asks you to choose you mouse, i picked number 7. which should be along the lines of (bad memory tonite) IMPS/2 or something to that effect. you should see it once you are in there. sorry i'm not more clear on that.

after that i went: cd /etc/X11 then: vi xorg.conf

and added to the input device section:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"

and everything seemed to work out pretty good.

edit: corrected an error pointed out by kern
