Daniel Schmidt 2009-01-16 09:26:14 MST --- I doubt that it there are any users that need two mice on the same X-Server with one of them being configured right-handed and the other left-handed. Nevertheless, I happen to have two mice connected to my computer and tested it. Actually I even can configure one of them right-handed and one left-handed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am one of them and I have tree mice -- regular mouse, touchpad, and track point. Is laptop nowadays is such rarity? Reopening, please test this on laptop, I can attach screenshot, whole section for mouse is disabled. Besides, originally, sax treat all mice as one, via /dev/input/mice (if I remember correctly). Left/right-handed mix is just an example (but important for me, and I guess for a lot of handicapped users). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I did it manually editing xorg.conf. No magic -- if I can do this, sax should be able to do this too. And I didn't use evdev. Please reopen, this is really shame, sax is limiting xorg capabilities -- independent mice configuration as well as the properties (tapping, scrolling). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sax is not able to make distinction between mice, so user has to manually edit xorg.conf and it is ok. Is this really state of the art of modern OS? Not an irony, but I cannot grasp an idea it is invalid report, i.e. wishing for adding such features into sax.

Again. That's not possible when using the "mouse" driver.

...

as well as the properties (tapping, scrolling). Now you're talking about synaptics, a completely different driver.

Stefan, what user knows about drivers? She/he would plug it in and configure mice. Again, if I can do manually, editing xorg.cong without installing any extra software, then sax should be able to do this also. As an attachment my old.xorg conf. 3 mice configured (manually) not knowing even anything about drivers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But we really want to use the multiplexer /dev/input/mice for a static configuration, since then a mouse always works - even when plugged in after the Xserver start. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
