usb mouse hotplug and X
I'm trying to figure out why my usb wireless mouse has stoped working in X (both hotplug and coldplug). This is on my laptop (Dell D600). The touch pad works fine. This issue started when I was at SuSE 9.3, and I never found the cause. Upgrading to 10b4 did not help. Ideas? Thanks. -Bryan

you need three stanzas of 'Section "InputDevice"' in your xorg.conf: one for keyboard two for mice the first mouse is your touchpad (you said it works) the second is your external mouse go to the YaST control center open Hardware -> Graphics and Display and check if you have 2 mice configured. If not, add one. Oops, I just see, it is not possible, to add a second mouse within SAX. I think this is a bug and not a feature! -- mdc
It turns out I had to modify my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Here is what I used Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "Autodecection" Option "Protocol" "imps/2" Option "Vendor" "USB-Mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Before it listed my touch pad (this is a Dell D600 laptop) and for some reason it was not accepting input from the USB mouse (although /dev/input/mice was receiving data from the mouse). Anyway its working all well and good now. -Bryan On 9/6/05, meister@netz00.com <meister@netz00.com> wrote:

Hi Bryan, well you say its working now. Good. But there is another Option "SendCoreEvents" that I had to add to the second mouse stanza sometimes ago to make the second mouse work, because you can only have one "CorePointer" in your config. -- mdc
