I have a three button logitech "MouseMan Serial-MousePort" mouse. It
plugs into my ps/2 port. Anyway, the mouse works flawlessly in the
console. However, once I start X, it begins to act funny.
Well, it moves fine and tracks great. But mouse clicks don't work too
well. For example, I have to click about 8 times on the gnome menu to
get it to pop up. Draging works fine, and generally anything where the
mouse moves and then clicks is ok. But simply double-clicking on an icon
takes about 16 clicks. I have quoted from my /etc/X11/XF86Config file at
the end of this message.
you'll notice I wrote "SysMouse" for my protocol. This is exactly what
the bsd installer told me to put here.
Anyway, here are my questions:
1) What should be in here? (my logitech is not one of the old
serial-port only mouses, btw (c7 type). Its M$ compatible I think)
2) Where are the system preferences for the console mouse stored? I've
been able to use the sysinstall program to reconfigure it before, but
I'd prefer to just edit a file ;-) any suggestions?
My computer is running FreeBSD 4.5/intel. The mouse worked fine in 4.4
(if only I had saved those config files... :D). The ps/2 port is part of
the motherboard (its not an add on card or anything). If it helps, my
computer is a 500mzh k6.
Thanks, your help will be much appreciated!
from /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "SysMouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
