Jumping Mouse with Omnicube / Intellimouse PS/2 with SuSE 9.1
by Axel Wachtler 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

Hallo all, I've installed SuSE 9.1. The Mouse is a Intelli Mouse PS/2. The mouse is connected via 4 port console switch (Omnicube 4 Port, Belkin). If I boot directly this machine into runlevel 5, the everything is fine with the mouse. As ssoon as I switch to another machine and back, the mouse is jumping and generating random mouse button events. In order to escape this state, I tried the following, without success: - switch to text console and back (Ctrl-Alt-F2, Ctrl-Alt-F7) - restart X server - switch to run level 3 and then back to 5 Also on the text console with a 'rcgpm start' the mouse showed the same behaviour. The only action what currently helps, is a reboot of the machine. Does anybody know a command to reinitialize the mouse hardware/driver ? Thanks and best regards Axel -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Axel Wachtler Fingerprint: FA2C 4FB1 AC18 5FA3 F4F1 1114 3F38 E0DF 8C3A DC95 Public Key: http://www.keyserver.net ------------------------------------------------------------------

Mouse Button Mapping: Imwheel Alternatives? New Mouse Suggestions?
by billg 14 Jul '04

14 Jul '04

Is there an effective way to map a mouse's thumb buttons to alt-left and alt-forward? I've been trying the imwheel route using an MS USB Wireless Intellimouse Explorer on a new 9.1 installation. (Seven buttons on this mouse: left, right, two for the wheel, and two thumbs buttons on the left side.) It isn't working. After making the appropriate XF86Config edits and issuing the usual xmodmap and imwheel incantations, alt-left and alt- right are mapped to the wheel. That's despite the fact that I tell imwheel to map to buttons 6 and 7, which, after the xmodmap, xev indicates are the thumb buttons. In other words, prior to xmodmap, imwheel sees no button 6 or 7; after xmodmap, xev shows the thumb buttons as 6 and 7; but imwheel "67" does the mapping to the wheel. ("Buttons 7" and "ZAxisMapping 6 7" are in XF86Config.) Plus, the wheel stops scrolling. With "ZAxisMapping 4 5" in XF86Config and without using xmodmap and imwheel, the scroll wheel works. I've managed to do this on other distributions, but have always found imwheel to be more trouble that it is worth. Is there a better way? A better way might be a new mouse, too. Anyone care to recommend a mouse that "just works" or comes with Linux software/drive that takes care of the mapping issue. Doesn't need to be wireless or USB.

Regarding ATI cards.
by mmarseglia 04 Jul '04

04 Jul '04

I have an ATI 8500LE and NVIDIA GFORCE MX 440SE. Originally, I had the ATI installed and X was lousy. even drawing simple windows in X took forever and moving a window around the desktop had incredible lag. installing the ATI driver was an even bigger pain in the rear. ATI's installer was unable to unload/replace the current driver loaded in memory for the module. it didn't matter which runlevel i was in, I couldn't get the module unloaded to replace it. by contrast, NVIDIA's install went much smoother. from the start i experienced impeccable performance and installing the 3D drivers was a breeze. the lesson here? screw ATI! until they make more headway with their linux support, i'll never buy another ATI card again. it's NVIDIA all the way.

Hello everybody, After updating to SuSE 9.1, I can't use anymore my numerical keypad in X. In version 9.0, I changed the option XkbModel to pc105 (It has 105 keys). And that worked well. Now I am searching for the appropriate configuration files, if possible for "Logitech cordless") or a short and clear description how to configure them. Who is so kind to help me? Henk
