This morning I got around to setting up the mouse on my server. I hadn't been using it till now, I was content with a couple of X terms and alt-tab to switch between them. However, with a mouse I could use Mozilla and hence have a quick surf without having to switch another pc on, just take the server out of it's monitor power saving mode.
The mouse I have is a Logitech MouseMan+ plugged into the PS/2 port. I previously had the mouse protocol set to 'Microsoft' and this did not work: the cursor would move horizontally but not vertically.
I looked in the /etc/X11/XF86Config.example and it mentioned a setting of:
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
I tried this and it worked, albeit with a slight pause while the autodetection worked. I looked in the file /var/log/XFree86.0.log and found this line:
(**) Mouse1: Protocol: "ImPS/2"
implying that this was the protocol that was found automatically. I set XF86Config to:
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
and it still works.
So this post was made in Mozilla under X. I'll have to get used to the X way of cut and paste: select text and middle-click.
Next challenge: scroll wheel. Google reveals this to be:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
You'd never guess this stuff.
