[gentoo-laptop] fujitsu siemens s7110 - touch stick?

Hello,

I have an FSC Lifebook S7110. I like to use the touch stick (the grey button 
between key 'g', 'h' and 'b') but I can't enable the "press-to-select' 
function.
My xorg.conf:
########
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "touchstick"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "auto"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
EndSection
########
Have anybody an idea how to get it works?

Bye
Sebastian

hello,

now I use evdev:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "touchstick"
    #Driver "mouse"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "Protocol" "auto"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
EndSection

but it doesn't work. I don't know whether the touchstick is /dev/input/mouse1. 
How could I discover it?

Bye

try  cat /dev/input/mouse1 and move the stick. If you get some weird 
output on your console, its the right device, but since you now use 
evdev it should be something more like /dev/input/event1, bit this can 
change.
Therefore you should od an cat /proc/bus/input/devices, there you can 
see your mouse.
in Xorg.conf you should remove Option Device and add option "Name" "the 
name shown by cat /proc/bus/input/devices". Also protocol "event" could 
be helpful

/dev/input/mouse1 is not an evdev device.

Try this:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier   "evMouse"
  Driver       "evdev"
  Option       "evBits"  "+1-2"
  Option       "keyBits" "~272-287"
  Option       "relBits" "~0-2 ~6 ~8"
  Option       "Pass"	 "3"
EndSection

and then add:

  InputDevice  "evMouse" "CorePointer"

to the ServerLayout section.

Or, since evdev does not support emulating the middle mouse button by
pressing the left and right simultaneously, I'd suggest what I use:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier   "evKeyboard"
  Driver       "evdev"
  Option       "evBits"  "+1"
  Option       "keyBits" "~1-255 ~352-511"
  Option       "Pass"	 "3"
  Option       "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
#   ... plus any XkbOptions ...
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mice"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  Option       "InputFashion" "Mouse"
  Option       "Name" "AutoDetected"
  Option       "Protocol" "imps/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "AutoDetected"
  Option       "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier   "Layout[all]"
  InputDevice  "evKeyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
  InputDevice  "Mice" "CorePointer"
#   ...  etc ...
  Screen       "Screen[0]"
EndSection


With /dev/input/mice the kernel does the hard work multiplexing the pad,
stick and any external USB or PS/2 mice and the server handles emulating
the middle button.  In short, everything just works.

I do recommend dvdev for keyboards, though.
