I have changed my computer. The new machine has only USB input for mouse. Previously I used PS/2 mouse and it worked well. In the new machine the scroll function of the mouse's third button doesn't work (though it works as a clickable third button). The OS is openSUSE 12.2 with KDE 3. How can I configure the mouse in it?
If it is a machine with an empty PCI slot you could install a PS/2 port card.
Another problem is the mouse pointer: it disappears at some areas of the screen, eg on xsane's preview window or on window title bars between the maximize and minimize labels. I guess this is graphic driver problem, Xorg.0.log has:
[ 81144.131] (II) VESA(1): VESA VBE OEM Software Rev: 0.0 [ 81144.172] (II) VESA(1): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section "Default Screen Section" for depth/fbbpp 24/32 [ 81144.172] (==) VESA(1): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
lspci 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
Maybe this graphics chip is not supported?
Haswell video didn't exist when 12.2 was released, so 12.2's Intel driver is not supporting your gfxchip. Haswell is missing from the list of supported Intel chips you included. That's why you're seeing all the VESA lines. You stripped the kernel cmdline from your Xorg.0.log paste, so another possible reason might have been inclusion of nomodeset in your grub stanza, but only if Haswell was supported. VESA is a crude and slow fallback driver, missing lots of functionality. Upgrading to a release containing an Intel driver that supports Haswell would likely solve both your problems. I'm using Haswell and KDE3 on 42.1 on this machine. It works well enough, and is secure enough, for me. What's your reason for sticking with long out of support 12.2? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
