Has anyone gotten a MS IntelliMouse Optical USB/PS/2 to work with X?

Has anyone gotten a MS IntelliMouse Optical USB/PS/2 to work with X?

Post by Flipmod » Tue, 11 Dec 2001 02:22:55



I have the IntelliMouse Optical Mouse when I configure X the setting I
choose was the IntelliMouse.

To cut a long story short when I startx X comes up fine but my mouse does
not work the cursor is basically stuck in the upper left corner of the
screen.

Now Is there a way to get the mouse working under Slackware 8?

If I edit the XF86Config file for the mouse entry is there another entry I
can use say MS compatible?

I just want the Damm thing to work I will trade off the other fancy
functionality..

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...

TIA Flipmode

My guess is that you should try the protocol "IMPS/2".

Yes, under Mandrake Linux and as the other guy says, I used IMPS/2 setting, not
Intellimouse. Worked under USB as well.
