We suggest to find out the mouse type manually by running gpm.
gpm
manually and remove it with
gpm -k
:
For further help:
gpm -h gpm -t help man gpmIf no device is configured, both gpm and X11 assume that the mouse is connected to
/dev/mouse
, which has been set by YaST
correctly in most cases.
Now try to configure the mouse type you found out in XF86Config. The different protocol types are these:
BusMouse Logitech Microsoft MMSeries Mouseman MouseSystems PS/2 MMHitTab Xqueue OSMouseThe option Emulate3Buttons needs to be set only when using a 2 button mouse, ChordMiddle is applied for track balls, it changes the behaviour of the middle button.
Tips:
gpm
-k
). In this case the file /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm
can be
removed, so gpm will not be started at every system boot.
Basically the gpm has problems with bus mice and with some kinds of Logitech mice.
Bus mice produce the error message can't open device
/dev/mouse
.
Some Logitech mice produce a much stranger effect: the X server starts running, but hangs before anything is displayed, so it looks as if the whole machine got stuck. Solution:
Keywords: MOUSE, X11, GPM, LOGITECH, AWARD, PILOT, BUSMOUSE
