[gentoo-catalyst] Still on mouse problem...

[Luca Casagrande]

Hi to all!
I still can't have mouse works in X.. :( As i previous post, it's recognized 
by autoconfig and works in gpm but it remains in the middle of the screen 
inside GDM.
I remembered that for 2006.0 livecd was used a symlink for mouse...I am wrong 
or this can help solve this problem?

Thanks
Luca

Modular X?  Monolithic X?

What USE flags?

What INPUT_DEVICES?

Which profile?

We cannot help you without you providing the pertinent information.  I
can guarantee you that it works for me (and Andrew... and Danny...) on
our 2006.1 stuff, so it is likely something different that you're doing.

Set VIDEO_CARDS and you don't need this one.

Heh... you don't need this one.

OK.  Are you also installing hwsetup in your livecd-stage1?

What does the "ServerLayout" section of the created xorg.conf look like?

What does /etc/sysconfig/mouse show on the booted CD?

Is autoconfig running? What about mkxf86config? You can double-check with 
'/etc/init.d/autoconfig status' and '/etc/init.d/mkxf86config status'.

Yes boot are running..mkxf86config configure xorg.conf for the video part, 
very well, and also the switching to opengl it's fine.
I wonder if the problem it's that i am using app-misc/livecd-tools-1.33-r2 and 
not the stable one...


Thanks

how do you set VIDEO_CARDS using catalyst? I didn't see that in the spec
files?

Well, you can set it multiple ways.  You can either make your own
profile and re-snapshot, which is probably the best way to do it, or you
can add it to your envscript.

Re: [gentoo-catalyst] Still on mouse problem...

[Luca Casagrande]

Hi to all!
After some test i finally solved the problem...
I remembered that on my old livecd (the one with gentoo+slaxtools) i used 
x11-misc/mkxf86config-0.9.3 and all was working fine. 
So i putted the mkxf86config.sh from 0.9.3 in root_overlay plus a custom 
xorg.conf.in with this change:

Option  "Device" "/dev/input/mice" 

in both ps/2 mouse and usb mouse (now solved in 0.9.7).

I'll ceck wich can be the differences, and try to build a patch.

Thanks to all for your support
Luca

[gentoo-catalyst] Still on mouse problem..

[Luca Casagrande]

Hi to all!
I am still checking mkxf86config.sh difference between 0.9.7 and 0.9.3:

This is the section at line 159 from 0.9.3 (mouse working fine):

# PS/2 bug: Some keyboards are incorrectly used as mice in XFree. :-(
PSMOUSE="$(ls -l1 /dev/mouse* 2>/dev/null | awk '/input/{print $NF ; exit 
0}')"
if [ -n "$PSMOUSE" ];

And this is the same section in the 0.9.7 (mouse not working):

# PS/2 bug: Some keyboards are incorrectly used as mice in XFree. :-(
PSMOUSE="$(ls -l1 /dev/mouse* 2>/dev/null | awk '/psaux/{print $NF ; exit 
0}')"
if [ -n "$PSMOUSE" ];

As you can notice, the differences is between  input and psaux.

Before opening a bug i'd like to check your opinion.

Thanks for your work
Luca

[Caleb Cushing]

could be totally ignorant thing to say... (and you still might have a
bug) xfree is not xorg.

Please open a bug.

Also, this can be fixed by enabling the legacy psaux interface in your
kernel while you wait.
