303 Hi Michael,
304
305 if it is the same "mouse-effect" I recognized as I tried to configure
306 my X...
307
308 It may be that the "auto" settings for the protocol fail to detect
309 the correct protocol (the wrong protocol was the reason for the "wild
310 mouse" in my case...).
311
312 I cannot determine the kind of mouse (manufacturer, brand,
313 interface...) from the output you send with your mail...
314
315 My mouse is identified at boot time like this:
316
317 input: Logitech N48 as /class/input/input0
318 input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Logitech N48] on usb-0000:00:10.0-2.4
319
320 it is an three-button USB-mouse (Logitech).
321
322 I configured it in xorg.conf like:
323
324
325 Identifier "Mouse1"
326 Driver "mouse"
327 Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
328 Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice
329 Option "Buttons" "5"
330 Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
331
332
333 HTH
334
335 Have a nice weekend!
