I have tried to get along with Knoppix and even tho its way cool, the mouse driver doesn't work well at all. I have tried all the settings I can find but its too much like pushing the mouse through mud to make it an enjoyable experience.

FWIW, its a three button logitech, PS/2

Is there a driver or equivalent that I can use to make it more customizable?

Thanks,

John

This forum is for posting tricks and tips, you better search in the hardware-forum.

Perhaps something like this in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 -file:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection

"This forum is for posting tricks and tips, you better search in the hardware-forum."

So what you suggested is not a tip or a trick???

I know what forum this is, but hardware has given no answers, that is why I am here.

However, since you say I don't belong here, I will just leave.. I don't need Knoppix that badly.

Not the 'whole forum', the subforum 'tips and tricks'.
It is for pushing tips and tricks, not polling.

I answered because I didn't want to wait whether you repost your question to 'hardware', and try to answer it there...

...and I don't need advertising knoppix...

I also had a fit trying to get my 3 button Logitech mouse to work
well in Knoppix. I added the following to my X86Config-4 file:

Option "Resolution" "300"

I use a large monitor at 1280x1024 so you might need to adjust this
to your own preference. Possibly 200 to 240.

In the Control Panel, Peripherals, Mouse, I set my mouse to 6 on the speed
and 4 on the threshhold. On my other machine I use 8 & 4 respectively.

Even if this isn't it's place, since you did start the thread on this subject, I have a USB (radio) mouse, A4tech and knoppix 3.6 detects it just fine at boot, but 3.4 does not. How can I make 3.4 see it?
