ps2

[IOmasterOI]

hi:
I am running mandrake 9.2. I installed it at school with usb mouse, everything works fine. I just moved home and plugged in a ps2 mouse but the ps2 mouse doesn't work. Any idea on how I can solove the problem?

In my XF86Config file:

Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/usbmouse"
ZAxismapping...

I am new to Linux so I don't know where to change "/dev/??" Or if that's the problem at all. I went into /dev but there is nothing that resembles mouse...

Thanks,
John

Try changing /dev/usbmouse to /dev/psaux in your XF86Config.

PS/2 mice are normaly as followed:

Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
ZAxismapping...

Sometimes /dev/mouse may be needed instead of /dev/psaux.

/dev/mouse is a symbolic link to your mouse device.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if this is a wheel mosue you will have to use IMPS/2 instead of PS/2, otherwise it won't work. You also need the ZAxismapping, but you already have that.
