Intellimouse in 7.1
Hi SuSE'rs I've installed the 7.1 a few days ago on a Gateway 466 computer and it doesn't auto-detect my MS Intellimouse (IMPS/2 with wheel), what's even worse is that none of the traditional methods to configure the mouse work either. This is what /etc/X11/XF86Config shows now: Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" No ZAxisMapping 4 5 as you can see. Iwonder if someone has managed to configure this properly and how. Can't find anything on the support sites or the e-mail lists on this. Cheers, ei -- @~~ EagleIce ~ gnu4u@linux.nu ~~@ @~~ Running GNU/Linux & KDE ~~@
Hi Ei: Here is what the mouse section of /etc/X11/XF86Config should look like. Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "WHEEL MOUSE (PS/2)" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Vendor" "MICROSOFT" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "3" EndSection I had to enter the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" and the Option "Buttons" "3" by hand. The other enteries were generated by Sax2. To get them, I clicked on Shutdown -> Console, which put me in run Level 3. I then logged in a s root and ran sax2 -f. This detects the hardware. Finally I ran emacs -nw /etc/X11/XF86Config to insert the two missing lines Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "3" By hand. My Microsoft PS/2 Intellimouse works perfectly. Also add the line imwheel -k & in your .xinitrc at the section: # # start some stuff # imwheel -k & I hope this helps. On Sunday 04 March 2001 09:39, you wrote:

Thank's for your reply, in 'imwheel -k &' what is the -k for? I've never used that before. Cheers, ei On Sunday 04 March 2001 17:31, Jonathan Drews wrote:

If you are using KDE-2.1, there's no need to start imwheel. Wheel scrolling works perfectly! Alvaro

Hi again everyone... Someone got this as a respnonse for Intelimouse in 7.1 On Sun, 04 Mar 2001, Jonathan Drews wrote:

My question; Will this be sufficient for the USB version too? And how do i get the buttons on the sides to work? Option "Buttons" "5"? I want to set them for "Back" and "Forward" in my browser. Also; What modules must i load???? /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels <rjhn@linux.nu> ---------------------------------------------------------
Now my /etc/X11/XF86Config looks like this: Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "WHEELMOUSE(PS/2)" Option "Vendor" "MICROSOFT" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "3" The wheel works now as a third button but it still doesn't scroll for some reasons, imwheel is installed and running. Any ideas? Cheers, ei On Sunday 04 March 2001 17:31, Jonathan Drews wrote:

Don't you have to change the "Button" option to 5? EagleIce wrote:

Does the .xinitrc (in your home dir) have an entry /usr/x11R6/bin/imwheel somewhere? I put it at the bottom, it works. I found it in the european support base by entering "wheelmouse". I didn't get my Logitech Cordless Wheel working their way, though. I used SaX2 straight from KDE, since the pointer went hiding on startup no matter what. Then I simply picked IMPS2 as protocol (perhaps not ..PS/2 ?), activated Button in Properties/Expert and entered 4 for Negative Movement, 5 for Positive Movement, Next etc. and it works beautifully :).

I don't really know. All I know is that I seem to remember it recommended somewhere else.

The easiest way to configure the IMPS/2 is to use the method given here: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/whellxf40.html -- Cheers, Jonathan

The easiest way to configure the IMPS/2 is to use the method given here:
except at least with Logitech Cordless, even sax2 -f -n /dev/psaux -t ps/2 doesn't change the mouse antics - it gets worse than before. This mouse gets a default protocol that's dangerous to work with (cuts, pastes and executes commands without you even touching the mouse - eerie!), but is enough to start & run SaX2 straight from KDE (or whatever X), changing runlevel seemingly didn't matter. Probably works the same way on 7.1 init 2 with just sax2 (without -f forced device detection) BR, Gudmund

I had some problems using the cordless mouse where a slight movement of the mouse moved the pointer around the place, did the cuts, pastes, etc. as you mentioned. I think this was more to do with poor reception or interference in certain places. I occasionally move my computer - I would have no problems in one place, but all sorts of problems in another. See if you can find a position where you get better reception. My mouse also did this when the batteries were almost dead.

I've got my optical MS Intellimouse with wheel working in 7.1. Here's my Pointer section from XF86Config: Section "Pointer" Device "/dev/psaux" Buttons 3 Protocol "IMPS/2" ZAxisMapping 4 5 BaudRate 1200 Resolution 100 EndSection HTH
