I want to get my oldest machine, built 2003, to work : |
2 |
it wakes up ok, but it doesn't recognise my mouse. |
3 |
My memory is that there was a change in mice sometimes since 2003 |
4 |
& that I needed to use one of the earlier kind for this machine ; |
5 |
unfortunately, I've discarded those mice long ago. |
6 |
|
7 |
I've been trying to get it to work with a USB mouse, |
8 |
making step-by-step changes in a 4-year-old Gentoo installation : |
9 |
|
10 |
(1) I enabled USB_HID in the kernel + OHCI + EHCI ; |
11 |
(2) I remerged xf86-input-mice xorg-server nvidia-drivers ; |
12 |
(3) /dev/input/mice exists ; |
13 |
(4) /var/log/syslog reports : |
14 |
"mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice" ; |
15 |
(5) /var/log/Xorg.0.log reports : |
16 |
... |
17 |
(II) LoadModule: "mouse" |
18 |
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so |
19 |
(II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation" |
20 |
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 1.5.0 |
21 |
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver |
22 |
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 7.0 |
23 |
... |
24 |
(==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled |
25 |
... |
26 |
(**) Option "Protocol" "auto" |
27 |
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |
28 |
(II) Mouse0: Setting mouse protocol to "ExplorerPS/2" |
29 |
(**) Mouse0: Device: "/dev/input/mice" |
30 |
(**) Mouse0: Protocol: "auto" |
31 |
(**) Option "CorePointer" |
32 |
(**) Mouse0: always reports core events |
33 |
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |
34 |
(==) Mouse0: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50 |
35 |
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" |
36 |
(**) Mouse0: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4, 5, 6 and 7 |
37 |
(**) Mouse0: Buttons: 11 |
38 |
(**) Mouse0: Sensitivity: 1 |
39 |
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE) |
40 |
(**) Mouse0: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1 |
41 |
(**) Mouse0: (accel) acceleration profile 0 |
42 |
(II) Mouse0: Setting mouse protocol to "ExplorerPS/2" |
43 |
(II) Mouse0: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded |
44 |
... |
45 |
|
46 |
The machine doesn't respond to mouse movements. |
47 |
|
48 |
Can anyone suggest what I'm missing ? |
49 |
Eg do I need to install 'evdev' ? |
